Extend `INSTALL-CMAKE` document with the list of available options,
a short description and default values.
The list may not be 100% complete.
There are no component boundaries in CMake, so the line is blurry
between curl options, CMake options, CMake Find modules options.
I included certain CMake options that seemed useful, and/or have
dedicated use withing curl's CMake source. But, all CMake built-in
options are usable, as documented upstream in CMake.
The naming of the options has a heritage and the inconsistencies with
it, including a lack of clear namespace. This may be subject to future
updates, also after figuring out which name has special meaning within
CMake and/or CMake projects out of unwritten convention or something
more tangible.
CMake allows to initialize any internal variable via `-D`. This may be
useful to pre-initialize/override feature check results. The list
doesn't contain these, and they remain officially undocumented.
Also:
- make adjustments to keep the spellchecker happy.
- retrofit description changes to the cmake sources.
- stop documenting deprecated `Find*` variables.

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]`.
Closes#14582
Existing C macro lacked build-level counterparts.
Add them in this patch.
- cmake: `-DCURL_DISABLE_SHA512_256=ON`
- autotools: `--disable-sha512-256`
Also drop the checker exception from `test1165.pl`.

Instead of use 'docs/*.md' in dep5. For clarity and avoiding a wide-
matching wildcard.
+ Remove mention of old files from .reuse/dep5
+ add info to .github/dependabot.yml
+ make scripts/copyright.pl warn on non-matching patterns
Closes#13245
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.
Closes#9621
Adds the full listing of CURL_DISABLE options to the CMake build. Moves
all option code, except for CURL_DISABLE_OPENSSL_AUTO_LOA_CONFIG which
resides near OpenSSL configuration, to the same block of code. Also
sorts the options here and in the cmake config header.
Additionally sorted the CURL-DISABLE listing and fixed the
CURL_DISABLE_POP3 option.
Closes#7624
The disable-scan script used in test 1165 is extended to also verify
that the docs cover all used defines and all defines offered by
configure.
