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.

Windows CRTs have a `share.h`. Before this patch when trying to
`#include <share.h>` it, the compiler picked up curl's internal
`lib/share.h` instead. Rename it to avoid this issue.
CRT `share.h` has constants necessary for using safe open CRT functions.
Also rename `lib/share.c` to keep matching the header.

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.

`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

To fix test 1308 in MultiSSL builds.
Failure was caused by the random number generator virtual function being
NULL, instead of pointing to the implementation in the runtime-selected
TLS backend. This could happen in MultiSSL builds when a functionality
was asking for a random number without triggering a VTLS function table
initialization first. Such functionality is MIME, or form data via MIME.
The reason CI did not catch it in an earlier MultiSSL GHA/windows job,
is that it was a debug-enabled one. In debug-enabled builds the test
runner was overriding the random number generator for all tests.
Fixed this by moving the override to the tests requiring it, via
1fcf22585f#17971, enabling debug builds
to catch this issue.
Enable MultiSSL in two CI jobs, to verify this patch.

Change the signature of `bufq` functions from
* `ssize_t Curl_bufq_*(..., CURLcode *err)` to
* `CURLcode Curl_bufq_*(..., size_t *pn)`
This allows us to write slightly less code and avoids the ssize_t/size_t
conversions in many cases. Also, it gets the function in line with all
the other send/recv signatures.
Added helper functions in `cfilters.h` for sending from/receving into

Fuzzer now fails to build due to these changes and its testing of
the bufq API.

Connection filters had a method `get_host()` which had not really been
documented. Since then, the cf had the `query()` method added. Replace
the separate get_host with query.
Add `CF_QUERY_HOST_PORT` as query to connection filters to retrieve
which remote hostname and port the filter (or its sub-filter) is talking
to. The query is implemented by HTTP and SOCKS filters, all others pass
it through.
Add `Curl_conn_get_current_host()` to retrieve the remote host and port
for a connection. During connect, this will return the host the
connection is talking to right now. Before/After connect, this will
return `conn->host.name`.
This is used by SASL authentication.

The secure transport vTLS backend was the only Curl_ssl struct instance

These libraries do not support TLS 1.3 and have been marked for removal

and get something more future-proof with a TLS library that supports
1.3.

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.

Ref: #16949Closes#16991
Further testing with timeouts in event based processing revealed that
our current shutdown handling in the connection pool was not clear
enough. Graceful shutdowns can only happen inside a multi handle and it
was confusing to track in the code which situation actually applies. It
seems better to split the shutdown handling off and have that code
always be part of a multi handle.
Add `cshutdn.[ch]` with its own struct to maintain connections being
shut down. A `cshutdn` always belongs to a multi handle and uses that
for socket/timeout monitoring.
The `cpool`, which can be part of a multi or share, either passes
connections to a `cshutdn` or terminates them with a one-time, best
effort.
Add an `admin` easy handle to each multi and share. This is used to
perform all maintenance operations where no "real" easy handle is
available. This solves the problem that the multi admin handle requires
some additional initialisation (e.g. timeout list).
The share needs its admin handle as it is often cleaned up when no other
transfer or multi handle exists any more. But we need a `data` in almost
every call.
Fix file:// handling of errors when adding a new connection to the pool.
Changes in `curl` itself:
- for parallel transfers, do not set a connection pool in the share,
rely on the multi's connection pool instead. While not a requirement
for the new `cshutdn` to work, this is
a) helpful in testing to trigger graceful shutdowns
b) a broader code coverage of libcurl via the curl tool
- on test_event with uv, cleanup the multi handle before returning from
parallel_event(). The uv struct is on the stack, cleanup of the multi
later will crash when it tries to register sockets. This is a "eat
your own dogfood" related fix.
