curl requires Windows XP since 2023. Drop version detection code using
`GetVersionEx()` aimed to support earlier Windows versions. With that
call deleted, the embedded manifest in `curl.rc` becomes unnecessary.
Delete it too, along with the enabler logic in build systems.
This allows to stop forcing `/MANIFEST:NO` for MSVC builds. Dropping it
fixes VS2008 shared builds, that require an auto-generated SxS
(side-by-side assembly) manifest to find their CRT DLLs. This was the
issue that prevented VS2008 `curl.exe` launching on AppVeyor CI:
```
src/curl.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```
Ref: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/curlorg/curl/builds/51577006/job/eitypvwlb1rxr11d#L261
FWIW the `curl.rc` embedded manifest wasn't ever enabled for VS2008 CI
builds either, because CMake did not pass our custom macro via
`CMAKE_RC_FLAGS` to `rc.exe`. For reasons I could not figure out.
After this patch the curl build no longer inject its own manifest, and
lets the default be applied by linkers and toolchains. It fixes VS2008
shared builds. curl continues to detect the real Windows version via
`RtlVerifyVersionInfo()` from `ntdll`.

Use these words and casing more consistently across text, comments and
one curl tool output:
AIX, ALPN, ANSI, BSD, Cygwin, Darwin, FreeBSD, GitHub, HP-UX, Linux,
macOS, MS-DOS, MSYS, MinGW, NTLM, POSIX, Solaris, UNIX, Unix, Unicode,
WINE, WebDAV, Win32, winbind, WinIDN, Windows, Windows CE, Winsock.
Mostly OS names and a few more.
Also a couple of other minor text fixups.

Add new job to test building for UWP (aka `CURL_WINDOWS_APP`).
Fix fallouts when building for UWP:
- rand: do not use `BCryptGenRandom()`.
- cmake: disable using win32 LDAP.
- cmake: disable telnet.
- version_win32: fix code before declaration.
- schannel: disable `HAS_MANUAL_VERIFY_API`.
- schannel: disable `SSLSUPP_PINNEDPUBKEY`
and make `schannel_checksum()` a stub.
Ref: e178fbd40a#1429
- schannel: make `cert_get_name_string()` a failing stub.
- system_win32: make `Curl_win32_impersonating()` a failing stub.
- system_win32: try to fix `Curl_win32_init()` (untested).
- threads: fix to use `CreateThread()`.
- src: disable searching `PATH` for the CA bundle.
- src: disable bold text support and capability detection.
- src: disable `getfiletime()`/`setfiletime()`.
- tests: make `win32_load_system_library()` a failing stub.
- tests/server/util: make it compile.
- tests/server/sockfilt: make it compile.
- tests/lib3026: fix to use `CreateThread()`.
See individual commits for build error details.
Some of these fixes may have better solutions, and some may not work
as expected. The goal of this patch is to make curl build for UWP.
Closes#13870
It affected cmake-unity shared-curltool curldebug mingw-w64 gcc builds
when building the `testdeps` target.
Apply the solution already used in `lib/base64.c` and `lib/dynbuf.c`
to fix it.
Also update an existing GHA CI job to test the issue fixed.

Windows compilers define `_WIN32` automatically. Windows SDK headers
or build env defines `WIN32`, or we have to take care of it. The
agreement seems to be that `_WIN32` is the preferred practice here.
Make the source code rely on that to detect we're building for Windows.
Public `curl.h` was using `WIN32`, `__WIN32__` and `CURL_WIN32` for
Windows detection, next to the official `_WIN32`. After this patch it
only uses `_WIN32` for this. Also, make it stop defining `CURL_WIN32`.
There is a slight chance these break compatibility with Windows
compilers that fail to define `_WIN32`. I'm not aware of any obsolete
or modern compiler affected, but in case there is one, one possible
solution is to define this macro manually.
grepping for `WIN32` remains useful to discover Windows-specific code.
Also:
- extend `checksrc` to ensure we're not using `WIN32` anymore.
- apply minor formatting here and there.
- delete unnecessary checks for `!MSDOS` when `_WIN32` is present.

- Use RtlVerifyVersionInfo instead of VerifyVersionInfo, when possible.
Later versions of Windows have normal version functions that compare and
return versions based on the way the application is manifested, instead
of the actual version of Windows the application is running on. We
prefer the actual version of Windows so we'll now call the Rtl variant
of version functions (RtlVerifyVersionInfo) which does a proper
comparison of the actual version.
