Before this patch, `pkg-config` was used for `UNIX` builds only (with
a few exceptions like wolfSSL, libssh, gsasl, libuv). This patch extends
`pkg-config` use to all envs except: `MSVC` without vcpkg. Meaning MSVC
with vcpkg will now use it. Also mingw on Windows.
Also apply the new condition to options where `pkg-config` was used
unconditionally (= for all targets). These are:
`-DCURL_USE_WOLFSSL=ON`, `-DCURL_USE_LIBSSH=ON`,
`-DCURL_USE_GSASL=ON` and `-DCURL_USE_LIBUV=ON`
This patch may still cause regressions for cross-builds (e.g. mingw
cross-build from Unix) and potentially other cases. If that happens, we
recommend using some of these methods to explicitly disable `pkg-config`
when using CMake:
- CMake option: `-DPKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=`
(or `-DPKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=nonexistent` or similar)
This is similar to the (curl-specific) `PKG_CONFIG` env for autotools.
- export env: `PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=`
(or `PKG_CONFIG_PATH`, `PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR`,
or the CMake-specific `PKG_CONFIG`)
We may improve control over this in a future patch, also allowing opting
in MSVC (without vcpkg).

- quote string literals.
In the hope it improves syntax-highlighting and readability.
- use lowercase, underscore-prefixed local var names.
As a hint for scope, to help readability.
- prefer `pkg_search_module` (over `pkg_check_modules`).
They are the same, but `pkg_search_module` stops searching
at the first hit.
- more `IN LISTS` in `foreach()`.
- OtherTests.cmake: clear `CMAKE_EXTRA_INCLUDE_FILES` after use.
- add `PROJECT_LABEL` for http/client and unit test targets.
- sync `Find*` module comments and formatting.
- drop a few local variables.
- drop bogus `CARES_LIBRARIES` from comment.
- unquote numeric literal.
Follow-up to acbc6b703f#14197Closes#14388
- tidy-up comments.
- use lowercase, underscore prefixed names for internal variables.
- use `IN LISTS` and `IN ITEMS` in `foreach()` loops.
- rename variable name `OUTPUT` to a more distinctive one.
- tidy-up `STREQUAL` syntax.
- delete commented code.
- indent/whitespace.
Closes#14197
Before this patch we detected the presence of a specific zstd API to
see if we can use the library. zstd published that API in its first
stable release: v1.0.0 (2016-08-31).
Replace that method by detecting the zstd library version instead and
accepting if it's v1.0.0 or newer. Also display this detected version
and display a warning if the zstd found is unfit for curl.
We use the same version detection method as zstd itself, via its public
C header.
This deviates from autotools which keeps using the slow method of
looking for the API by building a test program. The outcome is the same
as long as zstd keeps offering this API.

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.
