Require now pytest-xdist from tests/http/requirements.txt and
run pytest in 'auto' parallel mode (counts cpu cores).
For CI runs, set the worker count to 4, overriding the
core count of 2 exposed in the images.
- use Filelock to generate allocated ports at start for all
workers and have subsequent workers just read the file and
take the ports for their slot
- make httpd config clearing a function fixture so every test
starts with a clean httpd config
- have fixture `configures_httpd` as parameter of test cases
that configure httpd anyway, saving one reload
- add pytest-xdist and filelock to required pyhton modules
- add installs to ruff CI
- give live checks waiting for a server to start up longer time
- add fixtures to tests that rely on a server
- do not stop servers unnecessarily. failures may not start them
properly again, leading to unexpected fails in whatever follows
- add a https: port to httpd that is *not* back by QUIC to allow
failover tests without stopping the QUIC server
Closes#17295
- delete completed TODO from `./CMakeLists.txt`.
- convert a C++ comment to C89 in `./CMake/CurlTests.c`.
- delete duplicate EOLs from EOF.
- add missing EOL at EOF.
- delete whitespace at EOL (except from expected test results).
- convert tabs to spaces.
- convert CRLF EOLs to LF in GHA yaml.
- text casing fixes in `./CMakeLists.txt`.
- fix a codespell typo in `packages/OS400/initscript.sh`.
Closes#11772
- necessary ports are bound at start of test suite and then
given to server fixtures for use.
- this make parallel use of pytest (in separate directories),
practically safe for use as OS tend to not reuse such port numbers
for a while
Closes#10692
