Hold them for half the normal lifetime. Helps when told to transfer N
URLs in quick succession that all use the same non-resolving hostname.
Done by storing a DNS entry with a NULL pointer for 'addr'.
Previously an attempt was made in #12406 by Björn Stenberg that was
ultimately never merged.
Closes#18157
`getsock()` calls operated on a global limit that could
not be configure beyond 16 sockets. This is no longer adequate
with the new happy eyeballing strategy.
Instead, do the following:
- make `struct easy_pollset` dynamic. Starting with
a minimal room for two sockets, the very common case,
allow it to grow on demand.
- replace all protocol handler getsock() calls with pollsets
and a CURLcode to return failures
- add CURLcode return for all connection filter `adjust_pollset()`
callbacks, since they too can now fail.
- use appropriately in multi.c and multi_ev.c
- fix unit2600 to trigger pollset growth
Closes#18164
Replace repeat `#ifdef` code with a macro for the return type of
the thread function.
Also:
- always define `CURL_STDCALL`, allowing to use it without guards.
- lib1307: drop single-use macro `CAINFO`.

- codespell: break logic out into its own runnable script. Allowing
to run it on local machines.
- codespell: install via `pip`, bump to latest version.
- codespell: show version number in CI log.
- codespell: drop no longer needed word exception: `msdos`.
- codespell: include all curl source tree, except `packages` and
`winbuild`. Drop an obsolete file exclusion.
- add new spellchecker job using the `typos` tool. It includes
the codespell dictionary and a couple more. Use linuxbrew to install
it. This takes 10 seconds, while installing via `cargo` from source
would take over a minute.
- codespell: introduce an inline ignore filter compatible with `cspell`
Make `typos` recognize it, too. Move single exceptions inline.
Fix new typos found. Also rename variables and words to keep
spellchecking exceptions at minumum. This involves touching some tests.
Also switch base64 strings to `%b64[]` to avoid false positives.

The `transport` to use for a transfer, e.g. TCP/QUIC/UNIX/UDP, is
initially selected by options and protocol used. This is set at the
`struct connectdata` as `transport` member.
During connection establishment, this transport may change due to
Alt-Svc or Happy-Eyeballing. Most common is the switch from TCP to QUIC.
Rename the connection member to `transport_wanted` and add a way to
query the connection for the transport in use via a new connection
filter query.
The filter query can also be used in the happy eyeballing attempts when
code needs to know which transport is used by the "filter below". This
happens in wolfssl initialization, as one example.
Closes#17923
Coverity assess correctly that a variable write under mutex lock could
overwrite values from another thread - if the function were ever called
from multiple thread for the same transfer - which it is not.
Closes#17365
When cancelling a threaded resolve and the thread is
still running, detach from it under the mutex lock.
Otherwise, the detach might happen after the thread finished
and access already freed memory.

Move curlx_ functions into its own subdir.
The idea is to use the curlx_ prefix proper on these functions, and use
these same function names both in tool, lib and test suite source code.
Stop the previous special #define setup for curlx_ names.
The printf defines are now done for the library alone. Tests no longer
use the printf defines. The tool code sets its own defines. The printf
functions are not curlx, they are publicly available.
The strcase defines are not curlx_ functions and should not be used by
tool or server code.
dynbuf, warnless, base64, strparse, timeval, timediff are now proper
curlx functions.
When libcurl is built statically, the functions from the library can be
used as-is. The key is then that the functions must work as-is, without
having to be recompiled for use in tool/tests. This avoids symbol
collisions - when libcurl is built statically, we use those functions
directly when building the tool/tests. When libcurl is shared, we
build/link them separately for the tool/tests.

Adds a "meta_hash" to each easy handle for keeping special data during
operations. All meta data set needs to add its destructor callback, so
that meta data gets destroyed properly when the easy handle is cleaned
up or reset.
Add data->master_mid for "sub" transfers that belong to a "master" easy
handle. When a "sub" transfer is done, the corresponding "master" can
add a callback to be invoked. Used in DoH name resolution.
DoH: use easy meta hash to add internal structs for DoH name resolution.
One in each in each probe easy handle. When probes are done, response
data is copied from the probe to the initiating easy.
This allows DoH using transfers and their probes to be cleaned up in any
sequence correctly.
Fold DoH cleanup into the Curl_async_shutdown() and Curl_async_destroy()
functions.
Closes#16384
"asyn" is the internal name under which both c-ares and threaded
resolver operate. Make the naming more consistent. Implement the c-ares
resolver in `asyn-ares.*` and the threaded resolver in `asyn-thrdd.*`.
The common functions are in `asyn-base.c`.
When `CURLRES_ASYNCH` is defined, either of the two is used and
`data->state.async` exists. Members of that struct vary for the selected
implementation, but have the fields `hostname`, `port` and `ip_version`
always present. This are populated when the async resolving starts and
eliminate the need to pass them again when checking on the status and
processing the results of the resolving.
Add a `Curl_resolv_blocking()` to `hostip.h` that relieves FTP and SOCKS
from having to repeat the same code.
`Curl_resolv_check()` remains the function to check for status of
ongoing resolving. Now it also performs internally the check if the
needed DNS entry exists in the dnscache and if so, aborts the asnyc
operation. (libcurl right now does not check for duplicate resolve
attempts. an area for future improvements).
The number of functions in `asyn.h` has been reduced. There were subtle
difference in "cancel()" and "kill()" calls, both replaced by
`Curl_async_shutdown()` now. This changes behaviour for threaded
resolver insofar as the resolving thread is now always joined unless
`data->set.quick_exit` is set. Before this was only done on some code
paths. A future improvement would be a thread pool that keeps a limit
and also could handle joins more gracefully.
DoH, not previously tagged under "asny", has its struct `doh_probes` now
also in `data->state.async`, moved there from `data->req` because it
makes more sense. Further integration of DoH underneath the "asyn"
umbrella seems like a good idea.
Closes#16963
