curlx: curlx_strcopy() instead of strcpy()
This function REQUIRES the size of the target buffer as well as the
length of the source string. Meant to make it harder to do a bad
strcpy().

Removes 23 calls to strcpy().

localtime: detect thread-safe alternatives and use them
- add local API `toolx_localtime()` to wrap the banned function
  `localtime()`. Used from libcurl, libtests and test servers.
- auto-detect and use `localtime_r()` where available (e.g. Linux).
  Also to support multi-threading.
- use `localtime_s()` on Windows. It requires MSVC or mingw-w64 v4+.
  Also to support multi-threading.
  Use local workaround to also support mingw-w64 v3.
- add `src/toolx` to keep internal APIs used by the curl tool and tests,
  but not by libcurl. `toolx_localtime()` is the first API in it.
- replace `localtime()` calls with `toolx_localtime()`.
  Except in examples.
- note Windows XP's default `msvcrt.dll` doesn't offer secure CRT APIs.
  XP likely needs a newer version of this DLL, or may not run.
- note that `localtime()` mirrors `gmtime()`, with the difference that
  `gmtime()`'s internal wrapper lives in curlx.

Also:
- drop redundant `int` casts.

curlx: move Curl_strerror, use in src and tests, ban strerror globally
Also:

build: avoid overriding system symbols for fopen functions
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.

build: fix libcurltool with cmake and tunits, related tidy-ups
Sync how libcurltool is built in different modes and build systems.

cmake:
- build libcurltool with curlx when building shared libcurl.
  To make it possible to use standard libcurl when linking tunits.
  Also syncing this with autotools.
  The remaining difference is that cmake allows to select shared or
  static for curl tool and tests/examples independently.
- fix to link with libcurl instead of libcurlu.
  To sync with autotools and to link with the standard libcurl for
  tool unit tests.
- fix `source_group()` to always include curlx sources.
- add missing 'curlx header files' source group.

autotools:
- build libcurltool without curlx when building static libcurl in
  non-unity builds.
  To avoid double compilation, just to be thrown away at link time.
  Also to sync with unity builds.

both:
- sync source order between autotools and cmake.
- make sure to pass all headers with both autotools and cmake.
  This is a no-op with cmake. Maybe a future patch should make sure
  to not pass those to remove that noise.

tests: always make bundles, adapt build and tests
Make test bundles the default. Drop non-bundle build mode.
Also do all the optimizations and tidy-ups this allows, simpler builds,
less bundle exceptions, streamlined build mechanics.

Also rework the init/deinit macro magic for unit tests. The new method
allows using unique init/deinit function names, and calling them with
arguments. This is in turn makes it possible to reduce the use of global
variables.

Note this drop existing build options `-DCURL_TEST_BUNDLES=` from cmake
and `--enable-test-bundles` / `--disable-test-bundles` from autotools.

Also:
- rename test entry functions to have unique names: `test_<testname>`
  This removes the last exception that was handled in the generator.
- fix `make dist` to not miss test sources with test bundles enabled.
- sync and merge `tests/mk-bundle.pl` into `scripts/mk-unity.pl`.
- mk-unity.pl: add `--embed` option and use it when `CURL_CLANG_TIDY=ON`
  to ensure that `clang-tidy` does not miss external test C sources.
  (because `clang-tidy` ignores code that's #included.)
- tests/unit: drop no-op setup/stop functions.
- tests: reduce symbol scopes, global macros, other fixes and tidy-ups.
- tool1621: fix to run, also fix it to pass.
- sockfilt: fix Windows compiler warning in certain unity include order,
  by explicitly including `warnless.h`.

curlx: move into to curlx/
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.

src: omit hugehelp and ca-embed from libcurltool
CMake builds using the Xcode generator broke with an error saying it
doesn't support multiple targets depending on the same custom commands.
These custom commands are generating `tool_hugehelp.c` and
`tool_c_embed.c` for the curl tool and libcurltool.

`unit1394` and `unit1604` tests use libcurltool to test tool-specific
functions. They don't need hugehelp and ca-embed. It's thus safe to
disable and exclude them when compiling the sources for libcurltool.
Use the `UNITTESTS` macro to detect a libcurltool build within C.

After this patch these sources are solely used for building the curl
tool. Making the build compatible with the CMake Xcode generator.

Apply the change to autotools too to keep build systems synchronized.

binmode: convert to macro and use it from tests
And use it from src and tests.

Syncing this functionality between platforms and build targets.

Also: Stop redefining `O_BINARY` in src, and use a local macro with
the same effect. `O_BINARY` is used in `CURL_SET_BINMODE()` to decide
if this functionality is supported, and redefining it makes this check
pass always in unity builds. The check is required for Apple OS, because
it offers a `setmode()` function, successfully detected by both CMake
and autotools, but that function has a different functionality and
signature than that expected by `CURL_SET_BINMODE()`.

Also:
- drop MetaWare High C (MS-DOS) support for set binmode.

curl: (on linux) add MPTCP support
Multipath TCP (MPTCP), standardized in RFC8684 [1], is a TCP extension
that enables a TCP connection to use different paths.

Multipath TCP has been used for several use cases. On smartphones, MPTCP
enables seamless handovers between cellular and Wi-Fi networks while
preserving established connections. This use-case is what pushed Apple
to use MPTCP since 2013 in multiple applications [2]. On dual-stack
hosts, Multipath TCP enables the TCP connection to automatically use the
best performing path, either IPv4 or IPv6. If one path fails, MPTCP
automatically uses the other path.

To benefit from MPTCP, both the client and the server have to support
it. Multipath TCP is a backward-compatible TCP extension that is enabled
by default on recent Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, ...).
Multipath TCP is included in the Linux kernel since version 5.6 [3]. To
use it on Linux, an application must explicitly enable it when creating
the socket. No need to change anything else in the application.

This attached patch adds an --mptcp option which allows the creation of
an MPTCP socket instead of TCP on Linux. If Multipath TCP is not
supported on the system, an error will be reported. It is important to
note that if the end server doesn't support MPTCP, the connection will
continue after a seamless fallback to TCP.

tool: add "variable" support
Add support for command line variables. Set variables with --variable
name=content or --variable name@file (where "file" can be stdin if set
to a single dash (-)).

Variable content is expanded in option parameters using "{{name}}"
(without the quotes) if the option name is prefixed with
"--expand-". This gets the contents of the variable "name" inserted, or
a blank if the name does not exist as a variable. Insert "{{" verbatim
in the string by prefixing it with a backslash, like "\\{{".

Import an environment variable with --variable %name. It makes curl exit
with an error if the environment variable is not set. It can also rather
get a default value if the variable does not exist, using =content or
@file like shown above.

Example: get the USER environment variable into the URL:

 --variable %USER
 --expand-url = "https://example.com/api/{{USER}}/method"

When expanding variables, curl supports a set of functions that can make
the variable contents more convenient to use. It can trim leading and
trailing white space with "trim", output the contents as a JSON quoted
string with "json", URL encode it with "url" and base 64 encode it with
"b64". To apply functions to a variable expansion, add them colon
separated to the right side of the variable. They are then performed in
a left to right order.

Example: get the contents of a file called $HOME/.secret into a variable
called "fix". Make sure that the content is trimmed and percent-encoded
sent as POST data:

  --variable %HOME=/home/default
  --expand-variable fix@{{HOME}}/.secret
  --expand-data "{{fix:trim:url}}"
  https://example.com/

Documented. Many new test cases.

2f17a9b654 tool: improve --stderr handling

curl_ctype: convert to macros-only
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.

Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.

This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts

tool_findfile: search for a file in the homedir
The homedir() function is now renamed into findfile() and iterates over
all the environment variables trying to access the file in question
until it finds it. Last resort is then getpwuid() if
available. Previously it would first try to find a home directory and if
that was set, insist on checking only that directory for the file. This
now returns the full file name it finds.

The Windows specific checks are now done differently too and in this
order:

1 - %USERPROFILE%
2 - %APPDATA%
3 - %USERPROFILE%\\Application Data

The windows order is modified to match how the Windows 10 ssh tool works
when it searches for .ssh/known_hosts.

tool_listhelp: easier to generate with gen.pl
tool_listhelp.c is now a separate file with only the command line --help
output, exactly as generated by gen.pl. This makes it easier to generate
updates according to what's in the docs/cmdline-opts docs.

  cd $srcroot/docs/cmdline-opts
  ./gen.pl listhelp *.d > $srcroot/src/tool_listhelp.c

With a configure build, this also works:

  make -C src listhelp

metalink: remove
Warning: this will make existing curl command lines that use metalink to
stop working.

Reasons for removal:

1. We've found several security problems and issues involving the
   metalink support in curl. The issues are not detailed here. When
   working on those, it become apparent to the team that several of the
   problems are due to the system design, metalink library API and what
   the metalink RFC says. They are very hard to fix on the curl side
   only.

2. The metalink usage with curl was only very briefly documented and was
   not following the "normal" curl usage pattern in several ways, making
   it surprising and non-intuitive which could lead to further security
   issues.

3. The metalink library was last updated 6 years ago and wasn't so
   active the years before that either. An unmaintained library means
   there's a security problem waiting to happen. This is probably reason
   enough.

4. Metalink requires an XML parsing library, which is complex code (even
   the smaller alternatives) and to this day often gets security
   updates.

5. Metalink is not a widely used curl feature. In the 2020 curl user
   survey, only 1.4% of the responders said that they'd are using it. In
   2021 that number was 1.2%. Searching the web also show very few
   traces of it being used, even with other tools.

6. The torrent format and associated technology clearly won for
   downloading large files from multiple sources in parallel.

writeout: support to generate JSON output
This commit adds support to generate JSON via the writeout feature:

    -w "%{json}"

It leverages the existing infrastructure as much as possible. Thus,
generating the JSON on STDERR is possible by:

    -w "%{stderr}%{json}"

This implements a variant of
https://github.com/curl/curl/wiki/JSON#--write-out-json.
