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  XP likely needs a newer version of this DLL, or may not run.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.
