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:

- For the threaded resolver backend on Windows, revert back to
exclusively use the threaded resolver with libcurl-owned threading
instead of GetAddrInfoExW with Windows-owned threading.
Winsock (the Windows sockets library) has a bug where it does not wait
for all of the name resolver threads it is managing to terminate before
returning from WSACleanup. The threads continue to run and may cause a
crash.
This commit is effectively a revert of several commits that encompass
all GetAddrInfoExW code in libcurl. A manual review of merge conflicts
was used to resolve minor changes that had modified the code for
aesthetic or build reasons in other commits.
Prior to this change if libcurl was built with the threaded resolver
backend for Windows, and Windows 8 or later was the operating system at
runtime, and the caller was not impersonating another user, then libcurl
would use GetAddrInfoExW to handle asynchronous name lookups.
GetAddrInfoExW support was added in a6bbc87f, which preceded 8.6.0, and
prior to that the threaded resolver backend used libcurl-owned threading
exclusively on Windows.

- Use CURLX_FUNCTION_CAST to suppress a function pointer assignment
warning.
a6bbc87f added lookups of some Windows API functions and then cast them
like `*(FARPROC*)&Curl_funcname = address`. Some versions of gcc warn
about that as breaking strict-aliasing rules so this PR changes those
assignments to use CURLX_FUNCTION_CAST.

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.

- Change tool_util.c tvnow() for Windows to match more closely to
timeval.c Curl_now().
- Create a win32 init function for the tool, since some initialization
is required for the tvnow() changes.
Prior to this change the monotonic time function used by curl in Windows
was determined at build-time and not runtime. That was a problem because
when curl was built targeted for compatibility with old versions of
Windows (eg _WIN32_WINNT < 0x0600) it would use GetTickCount which wraps
every 49.7 days that Windows has been running.
This change makes curl behave similar to libcurl's tvnow function, which
determines at runtime whether the OS is Vista+ and if so calls
QueryPerformanceCounter instead. (Note QueryPerformanceCounter is used
because it has higher resolution than the more obvious candidate
GetTickCount64). The changes to tvnow are basically a copy and paste but
the types in some cases are different.

If a call to GetSystemDirectory fails, the `path` pointer that was
