Before this patch the curl repository and source tarball distribution
contained test certificates as binary blobs. Used by runtests.
Drop these certificates in favor of generating them dynamically as
part of the build process. Both via autotools and CMake.
As part of this, improve certificates, the generator script and process,
file layout, and fix any issue to make it work fast and smooth both in
CI and local builds.
Note, cert generator scripts require OpenSSL >=1.0.2
(or LibreSSL >=3.1.0). Generation requires POSIX shell, also with CMake.
Without a POSIX shell tests relying on TLS (and stunnel) will fail.
Details:
- build: generate certs as part of the test run process.
- build, tests: generate certs in the build directory.
- binarycheck: drop concept of known binary files with hashes.
- binarycheck: move binary check logic into spacecheck and drop this
separate checker tool.
- build: fix to clean all cert files.
- autotools: fix to not run leaf cert generators in parallel. To avoid
confusion when updating the revocation database and counter.
- scripts: drop `scripts` subdir, merge two scripts into one,
auto-generate root cert, allow generating multiple leafs at once.
- scripts: switch to EC-256 keys (was: RSA-2048). For key size and perf.
- scripts: drop `-x` echo, text dumps, most other output. To avoid log
noise and make it quicker in CI.
- scripts: make it non-RSA-specific.
- scripts: delete unused code.
- scripts: use POSIX shell shebang. Some envs don't have bash (Alpine).
- scripts: pass test pseudo-secrets via the command-line. To avoid:
```
+ openssl genrsa -out test-ca.key -passout fd:0 2048
Invalid password argument, starting with "fd:"
```
- cmake: fix to launch generator scripts via the detected POSIX shell.
- cmake: fix `build-certs` rule to not depend on `SRPFILES`
(`srp-verifier-*`).
- cmake: drop `EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` for the cert subdir. It makes
the Visual Studio generator miss to create the `clean-certs`,
`build-certs` targets. No target depend on them, so they don't execute
implicitly anyway. Fixes:
```
MSBUILD : error MSB1009: Project file does not exist.
Switch: clean-certs.vcxproj
```
- cmake: add `VERBATIM USES_TERMINAL` to `build-certs` target.
- GHA/linux: install openssl on Alpine, for the cert generator scripts.

Keep only the generated files needed for tests. Place generated
intermediaries in `tests/certs/gen` where they are ignored by git. No
longer generated `*.dhp` files.
Have a shorter naming scheme: `test-ca` instead of `EdelCurlRoot-ca` and
`test-localhost` instead of `Server-localhost-sv`, etc.
Remove the `stunnel` certificate as it was nearly a duplicate of
`test-localhost`.
No longer copy a generated certificates to `tests/stunnel.pem`. Let test
server default to `certs/test-localhost.pem` instead.
Closes#16593
- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
