Support multi-target cmake builds via `CURL_DIRSUFFIX` env. For example:
`export CURL_DIRSUFFIX=Debug/`.
Multi-target generators place their output to `src/<subdir>/`,
`lib/<subdir>/`, `tests/server/<subdir>`, `tests/libtest/<subdir>` and
`tests/unit/<subdir>/` by default. Before this patch, `runtests.pl`
couldn't run on such builds because it expected the binaries under the
their `<subdir>`-less directories. This patch allows to set such subdir
and make `runtests.pl` find the binaries. In CI we use multi-target
builds with tests for MSVC. It also helps Xcode-generator builds, though
in CI we don't have such job running tests.
There may be better solutions to configure this, but passing a custom
value to `runtests.pl` including its subprocesses is somewhat tricky.
The reason the configuration value expects the slash at the end is
because MSYS is automagically expanding the env to a (wrong) absolute
path if the slash is in the front.
Also:
- drop the `-DCMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_*=` workaround from CI.
- replace `resolve` references in tests with a new `%RESOLVE` variable.
It didn't use a filename extension before. After this patch it uses
`exe_ext('TOOL')`. I'm not sure if this is the correct choice vs.
`exe_ext('SRV')`.
- fix `-c` option format in manual.
- fix some whitespace.
Note, in CI we still tweak `CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_*` in jobs
which share steps between `./configure` and cmake. It's easier that way.

In certain Windows configurations, Perl resides under `C:/Program Files`
causing tests to fail when executing Perl. Fix by quoting the command.
Seen in `dl-mingw` jobs when switching to the default `bash` shell
offered by the `windows-latest` runner on GHA.
Also:
- apply the same fix for `valgrind` for consistency.
- make more use of `shell_quote()` when passing the `srcdir` directory
over the command-line. This doesn't come up in CI, but seems like
good practice. There are lots more unquoted arguments and possibly
also commands.

Using this option (only available in debug builds) makes curl always
call curl_easy_duphandle() on the handle before using it.
To help us catch curl_easy_duphandle() mistakes better.
Add a CI job using this.
Bonus: the previous runtests option -e is now also supported as
--test-event

- add variable for the null device filename and use that in Perl code.
- initialize this variable with `NUL` on native Windows.
- add `%DEV_NULL` variable and use it in tests.
Fixes `The system cannot find the path specified.` messages seen when
running `runtests.pl` with native Windows Perl.
Also adjust code to not break mcedit syntax highlighting.

To ensure Perl invocations within tests call the same Perl binary used
for running the tests, as specified or auto-detected via `PERL` env
(autotools) or `PERL_EXECUTABLE` setting (cmake). Instead of the first
`perl` executable found in `PATH`.)

Necessary to find generated files in the out-of-tree build directory.
E.g. `tests/configurehelp.pm`, for tests 1119 and 1167.
Before this patch macOS autotools builds were failing these two tests
due to falling back to the default preprocessor (`cpp`) instead of
the actual one configured. Then `cpp` failing to compile Apple SDK
headers referenced by curl headers.

Logs are written by several servers and all of them must be finished
writing before the test results can be determined. This means each
server must have its own lock file rather than sharing a single one,
which is how it was done up to now. Previously, the first server to
complete a test would clear the lock before the other server was done,
which caused flaky tests.
Lock files are now all found in their own directory, so counting locks
equals counting the files in that directory. The result is that the
proxy logs are now reliably written which actually changes the expected
output for two tests.

Each runner needs a unique random seed to reduce the chance of port
number collisions. The new scheme uses a consistent per-runner source of
randomness which results in deterministic behaviour, as it did before.

When the -j option is given, a new process is spawned in which the test
programs are run and from which test servers are started. Only one
process can be started at once, but this is sufficient to test that the
infrastructure can isolate those functions in a new task. There should
be no visible difference between the two modes at the moment.

There will soon be multiple log directories so the paths will no longer
be static in runtests.pl. Also, get rid of $SERVER2IN which was not
used.
Ref: #10818
testutil.pm now contains a few miscellaneous functions that are used in
several places but have no better place to live. subvariables moves to
servers.pm since most variables that it substitutes relate to servers,
so this is the most appropriate place. Rename a few functions for better
naming consistency.

This is code that is directly responsible for running a single test.
This will eventually run in a separate process as part of the parallel
testing project.
