configure: tidy up comments
- convert `#` comments to `dnl`, except copyright headers, and inline
  comments in `curl-complilers.m4`.
- drop empty comments.
- drop line-ending `dnl` markers. (except `zz40-xc-ovr.m4` where it's
  used to produce a comment in `configure`.)
- replace `dnl` line with C comment in `AC_CHECK_HEADERS()`.

Verified to produce the same `configure` script except empty lines,
`#` comments, and C comments, with autoreconf 2.72.

spacecheck: check long lines and repeat spaces, fix fallouts
Verify if lines are not longer than 192 characters. Also verify if lines
have less than 79 repeat spaces (and fix one fallout).

To improve readability by avoiding long lines and to prevent adding
overly long lines with text that may go unnoticed in an editor or diff
viewer.

In addition to pre-existing line length limits: 79 for C, 132 for CMake
sources.

Also:
- spacecheck: fix/harden allowlist regexes.
- spacecheck: tidy-up quotes and simplify escaping.
- spacecheck: allow folding strings with repeat spaces.
- GHA: fix a suppressed shellcheck warning.
- GHA/macos: simplify by dropping brew bundle.
- test1119.pl: precompile a regex.
- FAQ.md: delete very long link to a Windows 7/2008 support article
  that's lost it relevance.

curl/curl.h: replace recursive macros with C++-friendly method to enforce 3 args
Certain uses may still trigger a C compiler warning
`-Wdisabled-macro-expansion` after this, e.g. when the call is wrapped
in the `CURL_IGNORE_DEPRECATION()` macro as seen in docs/examples.

gcc: guard #pragma diagnostic in core code for <4.6, disable picky warnings
Extend `#pragma diagnostic push`/`pop` guards to the whole codebase
(from tests and examples only) to disable it for GCC <4.6. Rename guard
to `CURL_HAVE_DIAG` and make it include llvm/clang to be interchangeable
with `__GNUC__ || __clang__` in this context.

The above means no longer disabling certain warnings locally, so pair
this with disabling all picky warnings for GCC <4.6.

Also:
- drop global workarounds for misbehaving GCC <4.6 compiler warnings.
  Not needed with picky warnings disabled.

build: drop global suppression of -Wformat-nonliteral, fix fallouts
Extend two existing local suppressions to GCC, and add another
GCC-specific one as a replacement.

Before this patch suppressing this warning was odd with clang, because
after this option, `-Wformat=2` is used, which re-enables it.

Also:
- mprintf: minimize scope of a warning suppression.
- tests/server: suppress this warning for a system `vsnprintf()` call
  where it could trigger in C89 builds or with
  `CFLAGS=-DCURL_NO_FMT_CHECKS` set. Seen with Apple clang 17:
  ```
  curl/tests/server/util.c:114:37: warning: format string is not a string literal [-Wformat-nonliteral]
    114 |   vsnprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), msg, ap);

autotools: tidy-up if expressions
- drop x-hacks for curl internal variables and certain autotools ones
  that do not hold custom values.
- make x-hacks consistently use `"x$var" = "xval"` style.
- add a few x-hacks for input/external variables that may hold custom
  values.
- prefer `-z` and `-n` to test empty/non-empty.
  This also makes some x-hacks unnecessary.
- optimized negated test `-z` and `-n` options.
- prefer `&&` and `||` over `-a` and `-o`.
  For better POSIX compatibility:
  https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/test.html
- quote variables passed to `test`, where missing.
- quote string literals in comparisons.
- fix some indentation, whitespace.

Note that a few `case` statements also use the x-hack, which looks
unnecessary. This patch does not change them.

Verified by comparing feature detection results with a reference CI run
from before this patch (PR #19922).

build: set -Wno-format-signedness
Explicitly disable these warnings to allow using `-Weverything`.

There are around 600 of them across the codebase.

Silencing them has some drawbacks:
- enums (`CURLcode` mostly) would have to be cast to int to avoid
  different signedness depending on C compiler.
  (llvm/gcc: unsigned, MSVC/clang-cl: signed by default)
- hex masks need casts to unsigned to avoid the warning.
- fixing remaining warnings is annoying without fixing the above.
- without fixing all warnings the option cannot be enabled, to keep
  the codebase warning free.

build: address some -Weverything warnings, update picky warnings
`-Weverything` is not enabled by curl, and not recommended by LLVM,
because it may enable experimental options, and will result in new
fallouts after toolchain upgrades. This patch aims to fix/silence as much
as possible as found with llvm/clang 21.1.0. It also permanently enables
warnings that were fixed in source and deemed manageable in the future.
`-Wformat` warnings are addressed separately via #18343.

Fix/silence warnings in the source:
- typecheck-gcc.h: fix `-Wreserved-identifier`.
- lib: silence `-Wcast-function-type-strict`.
  For llvm 16+ or Apple clang 16+.
- asyn-ares: limit `HAPPY_EYEBALLS_DNS_TIMEOUT` to old c-ares versions.
- curl_trc: fix `-Wc++-hidden-decl`.
- doh: fix `-Wc++-keyword`.
- ftp: fix `-Wreserved-identifier`.
- ldap: fix `-Wreserved-identifier`.
- mqtt: comment unused macro to avoid warning.
- multi_ev: drop unused macros to avoid warnings.
- setopt: fix useless `break;` after `return;`.
- gtls, mbedtls, rustls: silence `-Wconditional-uninitialized`.
- socks_sspi, schannel, x509asn1: fix `-Wimplicit-int-enum-cast`.
- x509asn1: fix `-Wc++-keyword`.
- openssl: scope `OSSL_UI_METHOD_CAST` to avoid unused macro warning.
- libssh2, wolfssl: drop unused macros.
- curl_ngtcp2, curl_quiche, httpsrr, urlapi: drop/limit unused macros.
- tool_getparam: fix useless `break;` after `return;` or `break;`.
  Not normally enabled because it doesn't work with unity.
  https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/71046
- tool_operate: fix `-Wc++-keyword`.
- curlinfo: fix a `-Wunsafe-buffer-usage`.
- tests: silence `-Wformat-non-iso`.
- lib557: fix `-Wreserved-identifier`.
- lib1565: silence `-Wconditional-uninitialized`.

Enable the above clang warnings permanently in picky mode:
- `-Wc++-hidden-decl`
- `-Wc++-keyword` (except for Windows, where it collides with `wchar_t`)
- `-Wcast-function-type-strict`
- `-Wcast-function-type`
- `-Wconditional-uninitialized`
- `-Wformat-non-iso` (except for clang-cl)
- `-Wreserved-identifier`
- `-Wtentative-definition-compat`

Silence problematic `-Weverything` warnings globally (in picky mode):
- `-Wused-but-marked-unused` (88000+ hits) and
  `-Wdisabled-macro-expansion` (2600+ hits).
  Triggered by `typecheck-gcc.h` when building with clang 14+.
  Maybe there exists a way to fix within that header?
  Ref: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/removing-wused-but-marked-unused/55310
- `-Wunsafe-buffer-usage`. clang 16+. 7000+ hits.
  May be useful in theory, but such high volume of hits makes it
  impractical to review and possibly address. Meant for C++.

  C++ warning, deemed pure noise.
  Ref: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/18470#issuecomment-3253506266
- `-Wswitch-default` (180+ hits), `-Wswitch-enum` (190+ hits),
  `-Wcovered-switch-default` (20+ hits).
  Next to impossible to fix cleanly, esp. when the covered `case`
  branches depend on compile-time options.
- `-Wdocumentation-unknown-command` (8+ hits).
  Triggered in a few sources. Seems arbitrary and bogus.
- `-Wpadded` (550+ hits).
- `-Wc++-keyword` on Windows, where it collides with `wchar_t`.
  (100+ hits)
  Ref: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/155988
- `-Wreserved-macro-identifier`. clang 13+. 5+ hits.
  Sometimes it's necessary to set external macros that use
  the reserved namespace. E.g. `_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE`,
  `__ENVIRONMENT_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED__`, `__NO_NET_API`,
  possibly `_REENTRANT`, and more.
  It's not worth trying to silence them individually.
- `-Wnonportable-system-include-path` with `clang-cl`.
  It'd be broken by doing what the warning suggests.
- `-Wformat-non-iso` for clang-cl.

CMake `PICKY_COMPILER=ON` (the default) or `./configure`
`--enable-warnings` (not the default) is required to enable these
silencing rules.

Also:
- autotools, cmake: fix Apple clang and mainline llvm version translations.
  Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xcode#Toolchain_versions
- autotools, cmake: enable `-Warray-compare` for clang 20+.

build: enable -Wcast-qual, fix or silence compiler warnings
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.

macos, non-native and windows GHA workflows (~142 jobs).

Also move picky warning logic for MSVC/Borland to
`CMake/PickyWarnings.cmake. To make them listed in the picky-warnings
log output, and to also apply to feature detections to make them compile
under the same conditions as source code. The hope is to help catching
issues faster. It also improves code quality of feature tests.

tidy-up: delete, comment or scope C macros reported unused
To reduce the number `-Wunused-macro` compiler warnings:
- delete unused macros.
- comment out unused macro that are part of a set.
- move macros into the scope they are used.

This may be useful to enable by default, but there are tricky cases that
I didn't manage to fix and paused the effort. E.g. internal features
checks in `openssl.c`. There is more, once those are fixed.

- cmake: drop redundant `target`.
  It's manually filled and only in a (so far) few CI jobs. Let's revisit
  when this becomes useful.
- move `buildinfo.txt` to build root.
- dist: add `buildinfo.txt` to `DISTCLEANFILES`.
- autotools: detect human readable compiler version.
- autotools: replace `XXYY` `compiler.version` with "X.Y"-style.
  (also to match cmake.)
- autotools: use distinct `compiler_id` for Apple clang: `APPLECLANG`.
  To match cmake and also because the the "X.Y"-style version number
  is the Apple version, while `XXYY` was a value roughly translated to
  mainline llvm/clang version.
- show buildinfo at the end of the configure stage, when run in CI, or
  when `CURL_BUILDINFO` or `CURL_CI` env is set.

build: use -Wno-format-overflow
-Wformat-overflow is not a warning that we want enabled as it does not
help us. It can only bring us false positives since it warns on bad uses
of sprintf and vsprintf ("that might overflow the destination buffer").
Two functions we explicitly ban in curl code.

The only way this flag triggers warnings in curl code is false positives
for functions we have marked with the CURL_PRINTF() macro.

Further: it seems -Wformat-trunaction option might in turn also enable
-Wformat-overflow, so if this second option is used, we need to
explicitly set -Wno-format-overflow - not just skip setting
-Wformat-overflow.
