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.

Replace:
- curl_sspi: macro `_tcsncpy()` with `_tcsncpy_s()`.
- curlx/fopen: `wcsncpy()` with `wcsncpy_s()`.
- curlx/fopen: `wcscpy()` with `wcscpy_s()`.
Use of the pre-existing functions were safe. This patch aims to use the
recommended Windows CRT functions. Handle errors returned by them. Also
to avoid the compiler warnings silenced via `_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS`:
```

Cherry-picked from #19581 (in part)
Closes#19589
To complement the existing `curlx_fopen()` internal API.
It's used by the curl's `--stderr` option.
`curlx_freopen()` adds two features to the bare `freopen()`:
- tracing for debug-enabled builds.
- Unicode and long-filename support for Windows builds.
In effect this adds long-filename and enables Unicode support for
the `--stderr <filename>` curl command-line option on Windows.
Also add to checksrc.

Windows CE support was limited to successful builds with ming32ce
(a toolchain that hasn't seen an update since 2009, using an ancient gcc
version and "old mingw"-style SDK headers, that curl deprecated earlier).
Builds with MSVC were broken for a long time. mingw32ce builds were never
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.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`.
Closes#19536
- tool_formparse: replace truncated `fseek` with `curlx_fseek`.
- tool_operate: replace truncated `fseek` with `curlx_fseek`.
- tool_paramhlp: replace local duplicate `myfseek`, with `curlx_fseek`.

By introducing wrappers for them in the curlx namespace:
`curlx_fopen()`, `curlx_fdopen()`, `curlx_fclose()`.
The undefine/redefine/`(function)()` methods broke on systems
implementing these functions as macros. E.g. AIX 32-bit's `fopen()`.
Also:
- rename `lib/fopen.*` to `lib/curl_fopen.*` (for `Curl_fopen()`)
to make room for the newly added `curlx/fopen.h`.
- curlx: move file-related functions from `multibyte.c` to `fopen.c`.
- tests/server: stop using the curl-specific `fopen()` implementation
on Windows. Unicode isn't used by runtests, and it isn't critical to
run tests on longs path. It can be re-enabled if this becomes
necessary, or if the wrapper receives a feature that's critical for
test servers.
