Make it possible to build curl for Windows CE using the CeGCC toolchain.
With both CMake and autotools, including tests and examples, also in CI.
The build configuration is the default one with Schannel enabled. No
3rd-party dependencies have been tested.
Also revive old code to make Schannel build with Windows CE, including
certificate verification.
Builds have been throughougly tested. But, I've made no functional tests
for this PR. Some parts (esp. file operations, like truncate and seek)
are stubbed out and likely broken as a result. Test servers build, but
they do not work on Windows CE. This patch substitutes `fstat()` calls
with `stat()`, which operate on filenames, not file handles. This may or
may not work and/or may not be secure.
About CeGCC: I used the latest available macOS binary build v0.59.1
r1397 from 2009, in native `mingw32ce` build mode. CeGCC is in effect
MinGW + GCC 4.4.0 + old/classic-mingw Windows headers. It targets
Windows CE v3.0 according to its `_WIN32_WCE` value. It means this PR
restores portions of old/classic-mingw support. It makes the Windows CE
codepath compatible with GCC 4.4.0. It also adds workaround for CMake,
which cannot identify and configure this toolchain out of the box.
Notes:
- CMake doesn't recognize CeGCC/mingw32ce, necessitating tricks as seen
with Amiga and MS-DOS.
- CMake doesn't set `MINGW` for mingw32ce. Set it and `MINGW32CE`
manually as a helper variable, in addition to `WINCE` which CMake sets
based on `CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME`.
- CMake fails to create an implib for `libcurl.dll`, due to not
recognizing the platform as a Windowsy one. This patch adds the
necessary workaround to make it work.
- headers shipping with CeGCC miss some things curl needs for Schannel
support. Fixed by restoring and renovating code previously deleted
old-mingw code.
- it's sometime non-trivial to figure out if a fallout is WinCE,
mingw32ce, old-mingw, or GCC version-specific.
- WinCE is always Unicode. With exceptions: no `wmain`,
`GetProcAddress()`.
- `_fileno()` is said to convert from `FILE *` to `void *` which is
a Win32 file `HANDLE`. (This patch doesn't use this, but with further
effort it probably could be.)
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3989545/how-do-i-get-the-file-handle-from-the-fopen-file-structure
- WinCE has no signals, current directory, stdio/CRT file handles, no
`_get_osfhandle()`, no `errno`, no `errno.h`. Some of this stuff is
standard C89, yet missing from this platform. Microsoft expects
Windows CE apps to use Win32 file API and `FILE *` exclusively.

On `UNDER_CE` vs. `_WIN32_WCE`: (This patch settled on `UNDER_CE`)
- A custom VS2008 WinCE toolchain does not set any of these.
The compiler binaries don't contain these strings, and has no compiler
option for targeting WinCE, hinting that a vanilla toolchain isn't
setting any of them either.
- `UNDER_CE` is automatically defined by the CeGCC compiler.
https://cegcc.sourceforge.net/docs/details.html
- `UNDER_CE` is similar to `_WIN32`, except it's not set automatically
by all compilers. It's not supposed to have any value, like a version.
(Though e.g. OpenSSL sets it to a version)
- `_WIN32_WCE` is the CE counterpart of the non-CE `_WIN32_WINNT` macro.
That does return the targeted Windows CE version.
- `_WIN32_WCE` is not defined by compilers, and relies on a header
setting it to a default, or the build to set it to the desired target
version. This is also how `_WIN32_WINNT` works.
- `_WIN32_WCE` default is set by `windef.h` in CeGCC.
- `_WIN32_WCE` isn't set to a default by MSVC Windows CE headers (the
ones I checked at least).
- CMake sets `_WIN32_WCE=<ver>`, `UNDER_CE`, `WINCE` for MSVC WinCE.
- `_WIN32_WCE` seems more popular in other projects, including CeGCC
itself. `zlib` is a notable exception amongst curl dependencies,
which uses `UNDER_CE`.
- Since `_WIN32_WCE` needs "certain" headers to have it defined, it's
undefined depending on headers included beforehand.
- `curl/curl.h` re-uses `_WIN32_WCE`'s as a self-guard, relying on
its not-(necessarily)-defined-by-default property:

To reduce the number `-Wunused-macro` compiler warnings:
- delete unused macros.
- comment out unused macro that are part of a set.
- move macros into the scope they are used.
This may be useful to enable by default, but there are tricky cases that
I didn't manage to fix and paused the effort. E.g. internal features
checks in `openssl.c`. There is more, once those are fixed.
Closes#16279
- `websocket.c`: use `Sleep()` on Windows.
`sleep()` and `unistd.h` are not available in MSVC.
- `http2-upload.c`: use local `gettimeofday()` implementation when
compiled with MSVC.
(Alternate solution is to disable the trace function for MSVC.)

- do not use `sys/time.h` and `unistd.h` in Windows builds.
Some of these includes look unnecessary. Subject to another PR.
Cherry-picked from #13766Closes#13771
`winsock2.h` pulls in `windows.h`. `ws2tcpip.h` pulls in `winsock2.h`.
`winsock2.h` and `ws2tcpip.h` are also pulled by `curl/curl.h`.
Keep only those headers that are not already included, or the code under
it uses something from that specific header.
Closes#12539
- autotools, cmake: assume that if we detect Windows, `windows.h`,
`winsock2.h` and `ws2tcpip.h` do exist.
- lib: fix 3 outlier `#if` conditions to use `USE_WINSOCK` instead of
looking for `winsock2.h`.
- autotools: merge 3 Windows check methods into one.
- move Watt-32 and lwIP socket support to `setup-win32.h` from
`config-win32.h`. It opens up using these with all build tools. Also
merge logic with Windows Sockets.
- fix to assume Windows sockets with the mingw32ce toolchain.
Follow-up to: 2748c64d60
- cmake: delete unused variable `signature_call_conv` since
eb33ccd533.
- autotools: simplify `CURL_CHECK_WIN32_LARGEFILE` detection.
- examples/externalsocket: fix header order.
- cmake/OtherTests.cmake: delete Windows-specific `_source_epilogue`
that wasn't used anymore.
- cmake/OtherTests.cmake: set `WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN` for test
`SIZEOF_STRUCT_SOCKADDR_STORAGE`.
After this patch curl universally uses `_WIN32` to guard
Windows-specific logic. It guards Windows Sockets-specific logic with
`USE_WINSOCK` (this might need further work).

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.

.. and for Windows also call WSACleanup since we call WSAStartup.
The example is to demonstrate handling the socket independently of
libcurl. In this case libcurl is not responsible for creating, opening
or closing the socket, it is handled by the application (our example).
Fixes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/3663
All plain C examples now (mostly) adhere to the curl code style. While
they are only examples, they had diverted so much and contained all
sorts of different mixed code styles by now. Having them use a unified
style helps users and readability. Also, as they get copy-and-pasted
widely by users, making sure they're clean and nice is a good idea.
573 checksrc warnings were addressed.
