Change mingw-w64 printf format checks in public curl headers to use
`__MINGW_PRINTF_FORMAT` instead of `gnu_printf`. This syncs the format
checker with format string macros published via `curl/system.h`. (Also
disable format checks for mingw-w64 older than 3.0.0 (2013-09-20) and
classic-mingw, which do not support this macro.)
This fixes bogus format checker `-Wformat` warnings in 3rd party code
using curl format strings with the curl printf functions, when using
mingw-w64 7.0.0 (2019-11-10) and older (with GCC, MSVCRT).
It also allows to delete two workaounds for this within curl itself:
- setting `-D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1` for mingw-w64 via cmake and
configure for `docs/examples` and `tests/http/clients`.
Ref: c730c8549b#14640
The format check macro is incompatible (depending on mingw-w64 version
and configuration) with the C99 `%z` (`size_t`) format string used
internally by curl.
To work around this problem, override the format check style in curl
public headers to use `gnu_printf`. This is compatible with `%z` in all
mingw-w64 versions and allows keeping the C99 format strings internally.
Also:
- lib/ws.c: add missing space to an error message.
- docs/examples/ftpgetinfo.c: fix to use standard printf.

You find a mix of various documentation in this directory and subdirectories,
using several different formats. Some of them are not ideal for reading
directly in your browser.
If you would rather see the rendered version of the documentation, check out the

general curl stuff or the libcurl section for
libcurl related documentation.
