Replace bit mask protocol sets by null-terminated arrays of protocol
tokens. These are the addresses of the protocol names returned by
curl_version_info().
Protocol names are sorted case-insensitively before output to satisfy CI
tests matches consistency.
The protocol list returned by curl_version_info() is augmented with all
RTMP protocol variants.
Test 1401 adjusted for new alpha ordered output.

After this update autotools builds will compile and link `.rc` resources
to Windows executables. Bringing this feature on par with CMake and
Makefile.m32 builds. And also making it unnecessary to improvise these
steps manually, while monkey patching build files, e.g. [0].
You can customize the resource compiler via the `RC` envvar, and its
options via `RCFLAGS`.
This harmless warning may appear throughout the build, even though the
autotools manual documents [1] `RC` as a valid tag, and it fails when
omitting one:
`libtool: error: ignoring unknown tag RC`

As they are now rejected by the library, take care of not passing
disabled protocol names to CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS_STR and
CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS_STR.
Rather than using the CURLPROTO_* constants, dynamically assign protocol
numbers based on the order they are listed by curl_version_info().
New type proto_set_t implements prototype bit masks: it should therefore
be large enough to accomodate all library-enabled protocols. If not,
protocol numbers beyond the bit count of proto_set_t are recognized but
"inaccessible": when used, a warning is displayed and the value is
ignored. Should proto_set_t overflows, enabled protocols are reordered to
force those having a public CURLPROTO_* representation to be accessible.
Code has been added to subordinate RTMP?* protocols to the presence of
RTMP in the enabled protocol list, being returned by curl_version_info()
or not.
This no longer provide functions, only macros. Runs faster and produces
smaller output.
The biggest precaution this change brings:
DO NOT use post/pre-increments when passing arguments to the macros.

Instances of ISSPACE() use that should rather use ISBLANK(). I think
somewhat carelessly used because it sounds as if it checks for space or
whitespace, but also includes %0a to %0d.
For parsing purposes, we should only accept what we must and not be
overly liberal. It leads to surprises and surprises lead to bad things.
Closes#9432
Next Protocol Negotiation is a TLS extension that was created and used
for agreeing to use the SPDY protocol (the precursor to HTTP/2) for
HTTPS. In the early days of HTTP/2, before the spec was finalized and
shipped, the protocol could be enabled using this extension with some
servers.
curl supports the NPN extension with some TLS backends since then, with
a command line option `--npn` and in libcurl with
`CURLOPT_SSL_ENABLE_NPN`.
HTTP/2 proper is made to use the ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol
Negotiation) extension and the NPN extension has no purposes
anymore. The HTTP/2 spec was published in May 2015.
Today, use of NPN in the wild should be extremely rare and most likely
totally extinct. Chrome removed NPN support in Chrome 51, shipped in
June 2016. Removed in Firefox 53, April 2017.

- parallel transfers: only alloc and keep errorbuffers in memory for
actual "live" transfers and not for the ones in the pending queue
- serial transfers: reuse the same fixed buffer for all transfers, not
allocated at all.
Closes#9394
When doing a huge amount of parallel transfers, we must not add them to
the per_transfer list frivolously since they all use memory after all.
This was previous done without really considering millions or billions
of transfers. Massive parallelism would use a lot of memory for no good
purpose.
The queue is now limited to twice the paralleism number.
This makes the 'Qd' value in the parallel progress meter mostly useless
for users, but works for now for us as a debug display.

Before this patch `-nghttp3`/`-ngtcp2` had an effect only when `-ssl`
was also enabled. `-ssl` meaning OpenSSL (and its forks). After
8a13be227e nghttp3/ngtcp2 can also be
used together with wolfSSL. This patch adds the ability to enable
`-nghttp3`/`-ngtcp2` independently from `-ssl` (OpenSSL), allowing to
use it with wolfSSL or other, future TLS backends.
Before this patch, it was fine to enable `-nghttp3`/`-ngtcp2`
unconditionally. After this patch, this is no longer the case, and now
it's the user's responsibility to enable `-nghttp3`/`-ngtcp2` only
together with a compatible TLS backend.
When using a TLS backend other than OpenSSL, the TLS-specific ngtcp2
library must be configured manually, e.g.:
`export CURL_LDFLAG_EXTRAS=-lngtcp2_crypto_wolfssl`
(or via `NGTCP2_LIBS`)

They allow to override the hardcoded values for the `windres` and `strip`
tools, complementing the existing set of `CURL_{CC,AR,RANLIB}` variables.
`CURL_RC` comes handy when using LLVM tools with `CROSSPREFIX=llvm-` and
`CURL_CC=clang` set on current latest debian:unstable or earlier, where
`llvm-windres` is missing, and a `CURL_RC=<triplet>-windres` fixes it.
Hopefully this will be fixed in the llvm package. FWIW `llvm-windres`
does exist in Homebrew llvm, MSYS2 llvm and llvm-mingw.

When building curl for target platform other than x64 and x86, it is now
possible to pass `ARCH=custom`, that will omit all hardcoded logic for

added one for the resource compiler: `CURL_RCFLAG_EXTRAS`.
This makes it possible to use `makefile.m32` to build for ARM64 for

- Use the Windows API to seed the fallback random generator.
This ensures to always have a random seed, even when libcurl is built
with a vtls backend lacking a random generator API, such as rustls
(experimental), GSKit and certain mbedTLS builds, or, when libcurl is
built without a TLS backend. We reuse the Windows-specific random
function from the Schannel backend.
- Implement support for `BCryptGenRandom()` [1] on Windows, as a
replacement for the deprecated `CryptGenRandom()` [2] function.
It is used as the secure random generator for Schannel, and also to
provide entropy for libcurl's fallback random generator. The new
function is supported on Vista and newer via its `bcrypt.dll`. It is
used automatically when building for supported versions. It also works
in UWP apps (the old function did not).
- Clear entropy buffer before calling the Windows random generator.
This avoids using arbitrary application memory as entropy (with
`CryptGenRandom()`) and makes sure to return in a predictable state
when an API call fails.

Since this [1] commit in 2011, `_WIN32_WINNT` was set fixed to Windows
XP when the `-ipv6` option is selected. Maybe this was added to support
pre-XP Windows versions (?). These days libcurl builds fine for both XP
and post-XP versions with IPv6 support enabled. The relevance of pre-XP
version is also low by now. Other build methods also do not impose such
limitation for a similar configuration. So, drop this hard-wired
`_WIN32_WINNT` limit from `Makefile.m32`, thus building for the default
Windows version set by the compiler. This is Vista for recent MinGW
versions.
Old behaviour can be restored by setting this envvar:
export CURL_CFLAG_EXTRAS=-D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501

Referring to Daniel's article [1], making the init function thread-safe
was the last bit to make libcurl thread-safe as a whole. So the name of
the feature may as well be the more concise 'threadsafe', also telling
the story that libcurl is now fully thread-safe, not just its init
function. Chances are high that libcurl wants to remain so in the
future, so there is little likelihood of ever needing any other distinct
`threadsafe-<name>` feature flags.
For consistency we also shorten `CURL_VERSION_THREADSAFE_INIT` to
`CURL_VERSION_THREADSAFE`, update its description and reference libcurl's
thread safety documentation.
