Closes#10205
This patch aims to cleanup the use of `process.h` header and the macro
`HAVE_PROCESS_H` associated with it.
- `process.h` is always available on Windows. In curl, it is required
only for `_beginthreadex()` in `lib/curl_threads.c`.
- `process.h` is also available in MS-DOS. In curl, its only use was in
`lib/smb.c` for `getpid()`. But `getpid()` is in fact declared by
`unistd.h`, which is always enabled via `lib/config-dos.h`. So the
header is not necessary.
- `HAVE_PROCESS_H` was detected by CMake, forced to 1 on Windows and
left to real detection for other platforms.
It was also set to always-on in `lib/config-win32.h` and
`lib/config-dos.h`.
In autotools builds, there was no detection and the macro was never
set.
Based on these observations, in this patch we:
- Rework Windows `getpid` logic in `lib/smb.c` to always use the
equivalent direct Win32 API function `GetCurrentProcessId()`, as we
already did for Windows UWP apps. This makes `process.h` unnecessary
here on Windows.
- Stop #including `process.h` into files where it was not necessary.
This is everywhere, except `lib/curl_threads.c`.
> Strangely enough, `lib/curl_threads.c` compiled fine with autotools
> because `process.h` is also indirecty included via `unistd.h`. This
> might have been broken in autotools MSVC builds, where the latter
> header is missing.
- Delete all remaining `HAVE_PROCESS_H` feature guards, for they were
unnecessary.
- Delete `HAVE_PROCESS_H` detection from CMake and predefined values
from `lib/config-*.h` headers.

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
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
As detailed in DEPRECATE.md, the polarssl support is now removed after
having been disabled for 6 months and nobody has missed it.
The threadlock files used by mbedtls are renamed to an 'mbedtls' prefix
instead of the former 'polarssl' and the common functions that
previously were shared between mbedtls and polarssl and contained the
name 'polarssl' have now all been renamed to instead say 'mbedtls'.
Closes#4825
