Closes#10205
Detecting headers and lib separately makes sense when headers come in
variations or with extra ones, but this wasn't the case here. These were
duplicate/parallel macros that we had to keep in sync with each other
for a working build. This patch leaves a single macro for each of these
dependencies:
- Rely on `HAVE_LIBZ`, delete parallel `HAVE_ZLIB_H`.
Also delete CMake logic making sure these two were in sync, along with
a toggle to turn off that logic, called `CURL_SPECIAL_LIBZ`.
Also delete stray `HAVE_ZLIB` defines.
There is also a `USE_ZLIB` variant in `lib/config-dos.h`. This patch
retains it for compatibility and deprecates it.
- Rely on `USE_LIBSSH2`, delete parallel `HAVE_LIBSSH2_H`.
Also delete `LIBSSH2_WIN32`, `LIBSSH2_LIBRARY` from
`winbuild/MakefileBuild.vc`, these have a role when building libssh2
itself. And `CURL_USE_LIBSSH`, which had no use at all.
Also delete stray `HAVE_LIBSSH2` defines.
- Rely on `USE_LIBSSH`, delete parallel `HAVE_LIBSSH_LIBSSH_H`.
Also delete `LIBSSH_WIN32`, `LIBSSH_LIBRARY` and `HAVE_LIBSSH` from
`winbuild/MakefileBuild.vc`, these were the result of copy-pasting the
libssh2 line, and were not having any use.
- Delete unused `HAVE_LIBPSL_H` and `HAVE_LIBPSL`.

Closes#9652
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
The libssh2 backend has SSH session associated with the connection but
the callback context is the easy handle, so when a connection gets
attached to a transfer, the protocol handler now allows for a custom
function to get used to set things up correctly.

Fixes#6898Closes#7078
Readdir data, filenames and attributes are strictly related to the
transfer and not the connection. This also reduces the total size of the
fixed connectdata struct.
Closes#6519
- Reorder some internal struct members so that less padding is used.
This is an attempt at saving a bit of space by packing some structs
(using pahole to find the holes) where it might make sense to do
so without losing readability.
I.e., I tried to avoid separating fields that seem grouped
together (like the cwd... fields in struct ftp_conn for instance).
Also abstained from touching fields behind conditional macros as
that quickly can get complicated.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/6483
In my very basic test that lists sftp://127.0.0.1/tmp/, this patched
code makes 161 allocations compared to 194 in git master. A 17%
reduction.
