curlx: curlx_strcopy() instead of strcpy()
This function REQUIRES the size of the target buffer as well as the
length of the source string. Meant to make it harder to do a bad
strcpy().

Removes 23 calls to strcpy().

windows: fix CreateFile() calls to support long filenames
It makes them work in Schannel's CA bundle loader, and curl tool's
set/get file timestamp operations (e.g. in `-R`/`--remote-time`). Also
to match file open operations, that already support long filenames.

E.g. when using `--remote-time`, fixing:
```
Warning: Failed to set filetime 1741363917 on outfile: CreateFile failed:
Warning: GetLastError 0x00000003
```

The special long filename logic is necessary to support Windows releases
prior to Windows 10 v1607. With the latter, it's possible to opt-in to
this behavior via a manifest setting. Note that Windows itself also needs
to opt-in to support this. Finally note that curl itself needs passing
`--globoff` to let long filenames through, pending #20044 and #20046.

localtime: detect thread-safe alternatives and use them
- add local API `toolx_localtime()` to wrap the banned function
  `localtime()`. Used from libcurl, libtests and test servers.
- auto-detect and use `localtime_r()` where available (e.g. Linux).
  Also to support multi-threading.
- use `localtime_s()` on Windows. It requires MSVC or mingw-w64 v4+.
  Also to support multi-threading.
  Use local workaround to also support mingw-w64 v3.
- add `src/toolx` to keep internal APIs used by the curl tool and tests,
  but not by libcurl. `toolx_localtime()` is the first API in it.
- replace `localtime()` calls with `toolx_localtime()`.
  Except in examples.
- note Windows XP's default `msvcrt.dll` doesn't offer secure CRT APIs.
  XP likely needs a newer version of this DLL, or may not run.
- note that `localtime()` mirrors `gmtime()`, with the difference that
  `gmtime()`'s internal wrapper lives in curlx.

Also:
- drop redundant `int` casts.

curlx: move Curl_gmtime(), use gmtime_s() on Windows
Move `Curl_gmtime()` to curlx and rename to `curlx_gmtime()`. Then call
the internal wrapper also from the curl tool, to avoid using the banned
`gmtime()` directly, and using better, thread-safe alternatives when
available.

Windows `gmtime_s()` requires mingw-w64 v4+ or MSVC. Use local
workaround to also support mingw-w64 v3. `gmtime_s()` also makes
defining `_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS` unnecessary.

Also:
- lib: drop unused `parsedate.h` includes.
- drop redundant cast from `gmtime_r()` result.
- autotools: reverse condition in the proto detection to avoid
  misleading readers. (the condition plays no role in detection.)
- note Windows XP's default `msvcrt.dll` doesn't offer secure CRT APIs.
  XP likely needs a newer version of this DLL, or may not run.

curlx: limit use of system allocators to the minimum possible
Clone a multibye conversion function into curlx/fopen, and use that
local copy from curlx/fopen functions. Adjust allocators in curlx/fopen
to use curl's in normal builds, and system allocators in TrackMemory
builds to avoid recursion.

This allows to switch curlx/multibyte functions to curl allocators in
all configurations, as they are no longer called by curlx/fopen, and
a recursive call can no longer happen.

After this patch the system allocator is only used in TrackMemory
Windows builds, within curlx `fopen`, `freopen`, `stat` and `open`
functions.

Also:
- test 1, 440, 767: raise allocation limitsto fit the extra allocations
  in Windows Unicode builds.
- replace all uses of `curlx_unicodefree()` macro with `curlx_free()`
  across the codebase.
- curlx/multibyte: delete `curlx_unicodefree()`.
- ldap: join Windows and non-Windows codepaths that became
  identical after moving from `curlx_unicodefree()` to `curlx_free()`.
- vauth: drop a strdup from standard to curl allocator since
  the original allocation is now already done by curl's.
- tool_doswin: drop now superfluous strdup from `FindWin32CACert()`.
- memanalyzer.pm: sync weirdo `calloc` log message with `malloc`'s.

cmake: define dependencies as IMPORTED interface targets
Rework the way curl's custom Find modules advertise their properties.

Before this patch, Find modules returned detected dependency properties
(header dirs, libs, libdirs, C flags, etc.) via global variables. curl's
main `CMakeLists.txt` copied their values into global lists, which it
later applied to targets. This solution worked internally, but it was
unsuited for the public, distributed `CURLConfig.cmake` and publishing
curl's Find modules with it, due to polluting the namespace of consumer
projects. It's also impractical to apply the many individual variables
to every targets depending on libcurl.

To allow using Find modules in consumer projects, this patch makes them
define as imported interface targets, named `CURL::<dependency>`. Then
store dependency information as target properties. It avoids namespace
pollution and makes the dependency information apply automatically
to all targets using `CURL::libcurl_static`.

Find modules continue to return `*_FOUND` and `*_VERSION` variables.

For dependencies detected via `pkg-config`, CMake 3.16+ is recommended.
Older CMake versions have a varying degree of support for
propagating/handling library directories. This may cause issues in envs
where dependencies reside in non-system locations and detected via
`pkg-config` (e.g. macOS + Homebrew). Use `CURL_USE_PKGCONFIG=OFF`
to fix these issues. Or upgrade to newer CMake, or link libcurl
dynamically.

Also:
- re-enable `pkg-config` for old cmake `find_library()` integration
  tests.
- make `curlinfo` build after these changes.
- distribute local Find modules.
- export the raw list of lib dependencies via `CURL_LIBRARIES_PRIVATE`.
- `CURLconfig.cmake`: use curl's Find modules to detect dependencies in
  the consumer env.
- add custom property to target property debug function.
- the curl build process no longer modifies `CMAKE_C_FLAGS`.

build: stop overriding standard memory allocation functions
Before this patch curl used the C preprocessor to override standard
memory allocation symbols: malloc, calloc, strdup, realloc, free.
The goal of these is to replace them with curl's debug wrappers in
`CURLDEBUG` builds, another was to replace them with the wrappers
calling user-defined allocators in libcurl. This solution needed a bunch
of workarounds to avoid breaking external headers: it relied on include
order to do the overriding last. For "unity" builds it needed to reset
overrides before external includes. Also in test apps, which are always
built as single source files. It also needed the `(symbol)` trick
to avoid overrides in some places. This would still not fix cases where
the standard symbols were macros. It was also fragile and difficult
to figure out which was the actual function behind an alloc or free call
in a specific piece of code. This in turn caused bugs where the wrong
allocator was accidentally called.

To avoid these problems, this patch replaces this solution with
`curlx_`-prefixed allocator macros, and mapping them _once_ to either
the libcurl wrappers, the debug wrappers or the standard ones, matching
the rest of the code in libtests.

This concludes the long journey to avoid redefining standard functions
in the curl codebase.

Note: I did not update `packages/OS400/*.c` sources. They did not
`#include` `curl_setup.h`, `curl_memory.h` or `memdebug.h`, meaning
the overrides were never applied to them. This may or may not have been
correct. For now I suppressed the direct use of standard allocators
via a local `.checksrc`. Probably they (except for `curlcl.c`) should be
updated to include `curl_setup.h` and use the `curlx_` macros.

This patch changes mappings in two places:
- `lib/curl_threads.c` in libtests: Before this patch it mapped to
  libcurl allocators. After, it maps to standard allocators, like
  the rest of libtests code.
- `units`: before this patch it mapped to standard allocators. After, it
  maps to libcurl allocators.

Also:
- drop all position-dependent `curl_memory.h` and `memdebug.h` includes,
  and delete the now unnecessary headers.
- rename `Curl_tcsdup` macro to `curlx_tcsdup` and define like the other
  allocators.
- map `curlx_strdup()` to `_strdup()` on Windows (was: `strdup()`).
  To fix warnings silenced via `_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE`.
- multibyte: map `curlx_convert_*()` to `_strdup()` on Windows
  (was: `strdup()`).
- src: do not reuse the `strdup` name for the local replacement.
- lib509: call `_strdup()` on Windows (was: `strdup()`).
- test1132: delete test obsoleted by this patch.
- CHECKSRC.md: update text for `SNPRINTF`.
- checksrc: ban standard allocator symbols.

actually tested and runtime and unlikely to work due to missing stubs.
Windows CE toolchains also miss to comply with C89. Paired with lack of
demand and support for the platform, curl deprecated it earlier.

This patch removes support from the codebase to ease maintaining Windows
codepaths.

badwords: check indented lines in source code, fix fallouts
- badwords.pl: add `-a` option to check all lines in source code files.
  Before this patch indented lines were skipped (to avoid Markdown code
  fences.)
- GHA/checksrc: use `-a` when verifying the source code.
- GHA/checksrc: disable `So` and `But` rules for source code.
- GHA/checksrc: add docs/examples to the verified sources.
- badwords.txt: delete 4 duplicates.
- badwords.txt: group and sort contractions.
- badwords.txt: allow ` url = `, `DIR`, `<file name`.

tool_operate: exit on curl_share_setopt errors
Continuing when one of these has failed is fragile and error-prone.
