Tests with old cmake are slow. (no Ninja, no unity, and running slower
than recent versions.)
It also revealed that 3.7.2 2017-01-13 is too old to consume curl via
`find_package()` due to:
```
CMake Error at bld-curl/_pkg/lib/cmake/CURL/CURLConfig.cmake:69 (add_library):
add_library cannot create ALIAS target "CURL::libcurl" because target
"CURL::libcurl_shared" is IMPORTED.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:48 (find_package)
CMake Error at bld-curl/_pkg/lib/cmake/CURL/CURLConfig.cmake:69 (add_library):
add_library cannot create ALIAS target "CURL::libcurl" because target
"CURL::libcurl_shared" is IMPORTED.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:49 (find_package)
```
The mitigation for this issue requires 3.11.
Also:
- rename a few existing envs to use the `TEST_` prefix.
- make the `find_package` test provider stage verbose.
- fix issue when consuming with cmake 3.7.2 (all platforms):
```

- GHA: add cmake integration tests for Windows.
- make them run faster with prefill, unity, Ninja, omitting curl tool.
- also test static libcurl.
- add old-cmake support with auto-detection.
- auto-detect Ninja.
- run consumer test apps to see if they work.
- add support for Windows.
- make it more verbose.
- re-add `ExternalProject` cmake consumer test. It's broken.
- tidy up terminology.

This step could take from 5 seconds to 5 minutes, sometimes making it
run out of its time slot. It affected 60 CI jobs.
Saving an estimated minimum of 5 minutes per CI run.
Also fixing:

- replace `--parallel <n>` and `-j<n>` for individual commands with
`MAKEFLAGS`, for jobs not yet doing it.
This enables parallel builds in distcheck / maketgz-and-verify-in-tree,
where `-j` option was missing.
- add `--parallel` for iOS Xcode job for improved performance.
- drop redundant `-j5` for Android jobs.
- drop stray `cmake --config` options from single-target jobs (cygwin,
msys/mingw, dl-mingw, non-native). Drop redundant
`CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_*` settings too.
- GHA/windows: add timeout for package install steps where missing.
- GHA/non-native: specify target type explicitly for iOS cmake jobs.
Xcode default was already Debug, single-target default was generic,
now it's Release, with unity batch to keep it fast.
`MAKEFLAGS` is necessary for autotools jobs and CMake jobs using
the default (GNU Make) generator. It's ignored by Ninja and other tools.
`cmake --parallel` is still necessary for jobs with Visual Studio or
Xcode generators. Parallelism is 5 for GHA Linux and Windows runners,
4 for macOS, 3 for VMs, 2 for AppVeyor.
Closes#16502
Add CMake test project consuming curl via these methods:
`FetchContent`, `add_subdirectory()`, `find_package()`.
Also:
- GHA/distcheck: run these tests in CI.
- cmakelint: exclude a warning for calling "wonky-cased" built-in
CMake functions, such as `FetchContent_Declare()`.
Closes#16126
- drop `--quiet 2` option where used, to have uniform output.
- replace `apt` with `apt-get` in one job. sync options with rest.
- replace deprecated `apt-key` command with the alternative recommended
by `apt-key(8)`.
- drop stray `cd /tmp`, no longer needed after migrating to GHA.
- shorten `--option Dpkg::Use-Pty=0` to `-o Dpkg::Use-Pty=0`.
- add `-o Dpkg::Use-Pty=0` to hide `apt-get` progress bars taking
vertical log space, where missing.
- drop `-y --no-install-suggests --no-install-recommends` `apt-get`
options. They are the default in the ubuntu-24.04 image.
- GHA/distcheck: move `name:` to top in steps where not there.
- scripts/cijobs.pl: catch `apt-get` lines with the `-o` option.
Closes#16127
The uploads are only used as a cache mechanism between jobs to save them
from having to re-run maketgz multiple times, so there is no need to
save the artifact longer than this.
Closes#14793
Also:
- explicitly disable libpsl in CI to avoid configure warning, where
necessary.
- add TODO to make this warning an error (to match autotools.)
Follow-up to 2998874bb6#12661Closes#14533
Make it possible to rebuild an identical copy from a release tarball. It
was previously only possible from a checked out git repository.
- add release-tools.sh to dist
- keep Makefile.dist around to include it in dist
- regenerate tool_huge.c with the new version in dist
- fix the dist CI job to not do make clean like before
Closes#14336
- add CMake option to verify if the `CMake/*.cmake`, `CMake/*.in` files
are listed as distributable in autotools' `EXTRA_DIST`. The check can
be enabled with `-DENABLE_DIST_TEST=ON` CMake option.
- add CI job to that effect.
Ref: #14320Closes#14323
- bump rest of the workflows (windows, macos, distrocheck).
- non-native virtualized envs have 2 CPUs, bump down accordingly.
(for `vmactions/omnios-vm` it's just a guess.)
- bump all to nproc + 1.
Follow-up to e838b341a0#12927Closes#13807
To be able to detect missing files better, this now runs the full CI
test suite. If done before, it would have detected #12462 before
release.
Closes#12503
This will allow for more trigger excludes within Azure Pipelines.
Also fixes seemingly broken check with scripts/installcheck.sh.
