Designed to aid converting off from sscanf parsers. sscanf is hard to
use right, easy to mess up and often makes for sloppy error checking.
The new parsers allow more exact and pedandic parsing.
This new set of functions should be possible to use (and extend) and
switch over other libcurl parser code to use going forward.
Adapts the following to use the new functions:
- altsvc.c
- hsts.c
- http_aws_sigv4.c
Bonus: fewer memory copies, fewer stack buffers.

Closes#15692
Add `CURL_CA_SEARCH_SAFE` build-time option to enable CA bundle search
in the `curl` tool directory. The lookup method was already used to find
`.curlrc` and `_curlrc` (on Windows). On Windows it overrides the unsafe
default `SearchPath()` method.
Enable with:
- cmake: `-DCURL_CA_SEARCH_SAFE=ON`
- autotools: `--enable-ca-search-safe`
- raw: `CPPFLAGS=-DCURL_CA_SEARCH_SAFE`
On Windows, before this patch the whole `PATH` was searched for
a CA bundle. `PATH` may contain unwanted or world-writable locations,
including the current directory. Searching them all is convenient to
pick up any CA bundle, but not secure.
The Muldersoft curl distro implements such CA search via a custom
patch for Windows:
cd652d4792/patch/curl_tool_doswin.diff (L50)
MSYS2/mingw-w64 distro has also been rolling a patch solving this:
https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-curl/0001-Make-cURL-relocatable.patchhttps://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-curl/pathtools.c
Also add option to fully disable Windows CA search:
- cmake: `-DCURL_DISABLE_CA_SEARCH=ON`
- autotools: `--disable-ca-search`
- raw: `CPPFLAGS=-DCURL_DISABLE_CA_SEARCH`.
Both options are considered EXPERIMENTAL, with possible incompatible
changes or even (partial) removal in the future, depending on feedback.
An alternative, secure option is to embed the CA bundle into the binary.
Safe search can be extended to other platforms if necessary or useful,
by using `_NSGetExecutablePath()` (macOS),
`/proc/self/exe` (Linux/Cygwin), or `argv[0]`.

This allows test cases to require this feature to run and to be used in
%if conditions.
Large here means larger than 32 bits. Ie does not suffer from y2038.
Closes#11696
Introduce a --enable-form-api configure option to control its inclusion
in builds. The condition name defined for it is CURL_DISABLE_FORM_API.
Form api code is dependent of MIME: configure and CMake handle this
dependency automatically: CMake by making it a dependent option
explicitly, configure by inheriting the MIME value by default and
rejecting explicit incompatible values.
"form-api" is now a new hidden test feature.
Update libcurl modules to respect this option and adjust tests
accordingly.

- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
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
... so that runtests can skip individual test cases that test features
that are explicitly disabled in this build. This new logic is intended
for disabled features that aren't otherwise easily visible through the
curl_version_info() or other API calls.
tests/server/disabled is a newly built executable that will output a
list of disabled features. Outputs nothing for a default build.
Closes#3950
