a pointer to a const-qualified type.

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.

Closes#17680
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.

The issues found fell into these categories, with the applied fixes:
- const was accidentally stripped.
Adjust code to not cast or cast with const.
- const/volatile missing from arguments, local variables.
Constify arguments or variables, adjust/delete casts. Small code
changes in a few places.
- const must be stripped because an API dependency requires it.
Strip `const` with `CURL_UNCONST()` macro to silence the warning out
of our control. These happen at API boundaries. Sometimes they depend
on dependency version, which this patch handles as necessary. Also
enable const support for the zlib API, using `ZLIB_CONST`. Supported
by zlib 1.2.5.2 and newer.
- const must be stripped because a curl API requires it.
Strip `const` with `CURL_UNCONST()` macro to silence the warning out
of our immediate control. For example we promise to send a non-const
argument to a callback, though the data is const internally.
- other cases where we may avoid const stripping by code changes.
Also silenced with `CURL_UNCONST()`.
- there are 3 places where `CURL_UNCONST()` is cast again to const.
To silence this type of warning:
```
lib/vquic/curl_osslq.c:1015:29: error: to be safe all intermediate
pointers in cast from 'unsigned char **' to 'const unsigned char **'
must be 'const' qualified [-Werror=cast-qual]
lib/cf-socket.c:734:32: error: to be safe all intermediate pointers in
cast from 'char **' to 'const char **' must be 'const' qualified
[-Werror=cast-qual]
```
There may be a better solution, but I couldn't find it.
These cases are handled in separate subcommits, but without further
markup.
If you see a `-Wcast-qual` warning in curl, we appreciate your report
about it.

Sources used `lib/curlx.h` with both `ENABLE_CURLX_PRINTF` set and unset
before including it.
In a cmake "unity" batch where the first included source had it unset,
the next sources did not get the macros requested with
`ENABLE_CURLX_PRINTF` because `lib/curl.x` had already been included
without them.
Fix it by by making the macros enabled permanently and globally for
internal sources, and dropping `ENABLE_CURLX_PRINTF`.
This came up while testing unity builds with smaller batches. The full,
default unity build where all `src` is bundled up in a single unit, was
not affected.

Windows compilers define `_WIN32` automatically. Windows SDK headers
or build env defines `WIN32`, or we have to take care of it. The
agreement seems to be that `_WIN32` is the preferred practice here.
Make the source code rely on that to detect we're building for Windows.
Public `curl.h` was using `WIN32`, `__WIN32__` and `CURL_WIN32` for
Windows detection, next to the official `_WIN32`. After this patch it
only uses `_WIN32` for this. Also, make it stop defining `CURL_WIN32`.
There is a slight chance these break compatibility with Windows
compilers that fail to define `_WIN32`. I'm not aware of any obsolete
or modern compiler affected, but in case there is one, one possible
solution is to define this macro manually.
grepping for `WIN32` remains useful to discover Windows-specific code.
Also:
- extend `checksrc` to ensure we're not using `WIN32` anymore.
- apply minor formatting here and there.
- delete unnecessary checks for `!MSDOS` when `_WIN32` is present.

Warning: this will make existing curl command lines that use metalink to
stop working.
Reasons for removal:
1. We've found several security problems and issues involving the
metalink support in curl. The issues are not detailed here. When
working on those, it become apparent to the team that several of the
problems are due to the system design, metalink library API and what
the metalink RFC says. They are very hard to fix on the curl side
only.
2. The metalink usage with curl was only very briefly documented and was
not following the "normal" curl usage pattern in several ways, making
it surprising and non-intuitive which could lead to further security
issues.
3. The metalink library was last updated 6 years ago and wasn't so
active the years before that either. An unmaintained library means
there's a security problem waiting to happen. This is probably reason
enough.
4. Metalink requires an XML parsing library, which is complex code (even
the smaller alternatives) and to this day often gets security
updates.
5. Metalink is not a widely used curl feature. In the 2020 curl user
survey, only 1.4% of the responders said that they'd are using it. In
2021 that number was 1.2%. Searching the web also show very few
traces of it being used, even with other tools.
6. The torrent format and associated technology clearly won for
downloading large files from multiple sources in parallel.
