The MSVC UWP job in CI did not actually enable UWP. Fix this and
the fallouts discovered after enabling it.
- GHA/windows: make sure to enable UWP in MSVC vcpkg UWP job.
Use the CMake options and C flags already used for mingw-w64, but use
`WINAPI_FAMILY_PC_APP` instead of the deprecated `WINAPI_FAMILY_APP`.
(The former is not supported by mingw-w64, so leave it there as-is.)

- GHA/windows: by default the MSVC UWP job became 2x-3x slower than
others after actually enabling UWP. Most of it is caused by
CMake/MSBuild automatically building full APPX containers for each
`.exe` target. This includes 21 CMake feature detections. Each
detection app is built into a 15MB APPX project, with code signing,
logos, etc. Example:
https://github.com/curl/curl/actions/runs/12056968170/job/33620610958
Disable this overhead for curl build targets via custom
`CMAKE_VS_GLOBALS` options. I've found no way to apply them to feature
detection targets, so those remain slow.
- cmake: automatically enable Unicode for UWP builds. It's required.
Also stop enabling it manually in the existing CI job.
- tests: fix `getpid()` use for Windows UWP:
```
tests\server\util.c(281,21): warning C4013: 'getpid' undefined; assuming extern returning int
```

- src/tool_doswin: disable `GetLoadedModulePaths()` for UWP.
mingw-w64 UWP was okay with this, but MS SDK headers are not.
This makes `--dump-module-paths` return empty for UWP builds.
```
src\tool_doswin.c(620,3): error C2065: 'MODULEENTRY32': undeclared identifier
src\tool_doswin.c(626,11): warning C4013: 'CreateToolhelp32Snapshot' undefined; assuming extern returning int

- examples: fix `websocket.c` to include `winsock2.h` before `windows.h`
to make it build with MSVC UWP:
```
include\curl\curl.h(143,16): error C2061: syntax error: identifier 'curl_socket_t'
include\curl\curl.h(143,16): error C2059: syntax error: ';'

include\curl\curl.h(417,38): error C2081: 'curl_socket_t': name in formal parameter list illegal
```

- GHA/windows: silence linker warning with MSVC UWP builds:
```
LINK : warning LNK4075: ignoring '/INCREMENTAL' due to '/OPT:ICF' specification
```
Ref: https://github.com/curl/curl/actions/runs/12055696808/job/33616629610#step:11:38
- GHA/windows: set `/INCREMENTAL:NO` for all MSVC jobs to improve
performance a little.
- cmake: show `UWP` platform flag.

This directory is for libcurl programming examples. They are meant to show
some simple steps on how you can build your own application to take full
advantage of libcurl.
If you end up with other small but still useful example sources, please mail
them for submission in future packages and on the website.
Building
The Makefile.example is an example Makefile that could be used to build
these examples. Just edit the file according to your system and requirements
first.
Most examples should build fine using a command line like this:
Please do not use the curl.se site as a test target for your libcurl
applications/experiments. Even if some of the examples use that site as a URL
at some places, it does not mean that the URLs work or that we expect you to
actually torture our website with your tests. Thanks.
Examples
Each example source code file is designed to be and work stand-alone and
rather self-explanatory. The examples may at times lack the level of error
checks you need in a real world, but that is then only for the sake of
readability: to make the code smaller and easier to follow.
