Add test 760 to verify

Fixes#18375Closes#18376
Changed strategy to start up and terminate resolver thread.
When starting up:
Start the thread with mutex acquired, wait for signal from thread that
it started and has incremented the ref counter. Thread set
pthread_cancel() to disabled before that and only enables cancelling
during resolving itself. This assure that the ref counter is correct and
the unlinking of the resolve context always happens.
When shutting down resolving:
If ref counting shows thread has finished, join it, free everything. If
thread has not finished, try pthread_cancel() (non Windows), but keep
the thread handle around.
When destroying resolving:
Shutdown first, then, if the thread is still there and 'quick_exit' is
not set, join it and free everything. This might occur a delay if
getaddrinfo() hangs and cannot be interrupted by pthread_cancel().
Destroying resolving happens when another resolve is started on an
easy handle or when the easy handle is closed.
Add test795 to check that connect timeout triggers correctly
when resolving is delayed. Add debug env var `CURL_DNS_DELAY_MS`
to simulate delays in resolving.
Fix test1557 to set `quick_exit` and use `xxx.invalid` as domain
instead of `nothing` that was leading to hangers in CI.
Closes#18263
`runtests.pl` defaults to `-` if a command is not set, since

When an application install its own OpenSSL verify callback and that
callback invokes `SSL_set_retry_verify()`, the transfer is automatically
paused and does not progress the connect attempt any further until
unpaused via `curl_easy_pause().

Add support for CURLOPT_READFUNCTION with WebSocket urls when *not* in
connect-only mode, e.g. when using curl_multi_perform.
Install the callback function and set CURLOPT_UPLOAD. Return
CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE when having nothing more to send and unpause the
transfer when more data is ready.
This will send the read bytes in a WebSocket BINARY frame.
Add support for this mode in the pytest "ws_data" client and have all
tests run in 'curl_ws_send/recv' and 'peform' mode as well.
Add `curl_ws_start_frame()`. Document, cover in libcurl-ws.md and
explain the READFUNCTION mode for websockets.
Add example `websocket-updown` for this.
Closes#17683

Before this patch, the curl tool found the system curlrc first, ignoring

Instead of doing malloc/free every time and "manual" buffer population.

The GlobalConfig only exists in a single instance and it has worked like
this since the dawn of time. It is about time we stop passing around
pointers to what was already essentially a global object and instead
just use a... global.
It simplifies things.
Closes#18213
curl_easy_reset() did not reset the `rewind_read` flag. This caused any
handles that previously had a CURLE_SEND_FAIL_REWIND error to get stuck
with that error, failing any subsequent requests, even if they didn't
have any body at all.

Hold them for half the normal lifetime. Helps when told to transfer N

When a multiplex connection (h2/h3) is shutdown by the server, the
reported number of parallel transfers allowed drops to 0.
Determine that when the last transfer is done and terminate the
connection instead of keeping it in the cache.
We detect the drop to 0 also when we try to reuse such a connection, but
if we know this at the time the last transfer is done, we better
terminate it right away.
Have a consistent trace logging to this with the connections current
hostname and port. Adjust test expectations to carry port numbers.
Closes#17884
If the long option name ends with an equals sign (`=`), the argument is
the text following on its right side.
This makes the command line parser accept this common style in addition
to the existing way to accept option arguments more similar to how other
command line tools do.
Example: `curl --user-agent=curl-2000 https://example.com/`
Change a few existing tests to use this syntax: 206, 1333, 1335, 1442

This still allows users to explictily ask for 1.0 or 1.1 as the minimum
version. If the TLS library allows it.
Starting with this change, the CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT value is no
longer used as minimum version when the TLS backend are called.
This also makes curl set the minimum version to 1.2 independently of
libcurl for the rare case where a newer curl tool would use an older
libcurl.

Setting `CURL_ENTROPY` in debug-enabled builds overrides the code paths
responsible for random number generation. To avoid masking issue there,
this patch moves `CURL_ENTROPY` settings to each test that requires it,
and stop setting it by default for all tests (in `runner.pm`).
This makes it possible to catch random generator issues in debug-enabled
builds; extending test coverage.
To keep offering a well-defined state for tests, make `runner.pm` delete
the `CURL_ENTROPY` env, if present.

CURLE_HTTP_POST_ERROR is not in libcurl-errors.md
CURLE_TELNET_OPTION_SYNTAX is not in libcurl-errors.md

- mark `CURLE_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND` deprecated by 7.53.0
- mark `CURLE_HTTP_POST_ERROR` deprecated by 7.56.0
- mark `CURLE_TELNET_OPTION_SYNTAX` deprecated by 7.78.0
- document `CURLM_CALL_MULTI_SOCKET` as a synonym for
`CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM`
- test1477: exclude `CURLM_CALL_MULTI_SOCKET`.

The idea here is to set limits per test how many allocations and maximum
amount of memory it is allowed to use. This is a means to make sure the
number and total size of allocations are kept in check and don't
mistakenly "blow up".
If runtests.pl detects that the given limits have been exceeded it fails
the test case with an error.
The `<verify>` part now supports `<limits>`, and in this section two
limits can be set for each test (verified in debug builds only):
Allocations: [number of allocation calls]
Maximum allocated: [maximum concurrent memory allocated]
Default limits (used if nothing is set in the test file):
Allocations: 1000
Maximum allocated: 1000000
