build: add curl-lint/lint targets, CURL_LINT cmake option
To run checksrc and spacecheck on the source tree. Also for cmake
to sync up with autotools' `checksrc` target.

- cmake: `curl-lint`
  With `-DCURL_LINT=ON`, checks run automatically for all targets.
- autotools: `lint`

lib: stop overriding system printf symbols
After this patch, the codebase no longer overrides system printf
functions. Instead it explicitly calls either the curl printf functions
`curl_m*printf()` or the system ones using their original names.

Also:
- drop unused `curl_printf.h` includes.
- checksrc: ban system printf functions, allow where necessary.

perlcheck: add script, run in CI, fix fallouts
Add script to run all Perl sources through `perl -c` to ensure no
issues, and run this script via GHA/checksrc in CI.

Fallouts:
- fix two repeated declarations.
- move `shell_quote()` from `testutil.pm` to `pathhelp.pm`, to
  avoid circular dependency in `globalconfig.pm`.

configure: if no perl, disable unity and shell completion, related tidy ups
Also:
- GHA/linux, macos: test `install` with autotools too.
- GHA/linux, macos: enable fish and zsh completion in an autotools job.
- scripts: drop dynamic perl checks redundant after this patch.
- scripts: drop two interim variables.
- autotools: make `build-certs` target check perl first.
- autotools: replace `$(PERL)` with `@PERL@` to match the pattern used
  in most automake scripts. For consistency. This makes `PERL` be
  defined at configure-time, as opposed to make-time, for these cases
  now.

checksrc-all: rewrite in Perl, remove checksrc.bat

unit tests: extract "private" prototypes at build time
In order to do unit tests for private functions, functions that are
marked UNITTEST but without a global scope in the library, functions
that do not have prototypes in their corresponding header file, unit
tests previously brought their own private prototype *copy* into the
unit test.

This was error-prone when the internal function changes but the change
might be missed in the unit test which then uses an outdated prototype
copy for testing.

This change removes the private prototypes from unit tests and instead
introduces a C file parser that parses the specific C files and extracts
the necessary unit test prototypes into a generated header file for unit
tests to use. This geneated lib/unitprotos.h header is then included by
unit tests that need private prototypes.

checksrc: avoid extra runs in CI, enable more check locally, fix fallouts
To avoid redundant work in CI and to avoid a single checksrc issue make
all autotools jobs fail. After this patch checksrc issues make fail
the checksrc job, the `dist / verify-out-of-tree-autotools-debug`,
`dist / maketgz-and-verify-in-tree`  jobs and the fuzzer job (if run).
Of these, the `dist` jobs replicate local builds, also testing the build
logic.

Also add a script to check the complete local repository, optionally
with the build tree to verify generated C files.

Also:
- automatically run checksrc in subdirectories having a `checksrc`
  target. (examples, OS400, tests http/client, unit and tunit)
- tests/libtest: make sure to run `checksrc` on generated `lib1521.c`.
  (requires in-tree autotools build.)
- tests: run `checksrc` on targets also for non-`DEBUGBUILD`
  builds. It ensures to check `lib1521.c` in CI via job
  `dist / maketgz-and-verify-in-tree`.
- src: drop redundant `$(builddir)` in autotools builds.
- scripts: add `checksrc-all.sh` script to check all C sources and
  the build directory as an option.
- use the above from CI, also make it verify all generated sources.
- silence `checksrc` issues in generated C sources.
- checksrc: add `-v` option to enable verbose mode.
- checksrc: make verbose mode show checked filename and fix to only
  return error on failure.
- make sure that generated C files pass `checksrc`.

autotools: add support for 'unity' builds, enable in CI
Implement the "unity" builds as known from CMake, but for autotools.
It's limited to `lib` and `src` (CMake also supports it in `tests`).

Enable with: `--enable-unity` (disabled by default)

Unity builds speed up builds significantly. Cygwin and Windows builds in
particular, but the effect is noticeable on most systems. It also allows
discovering unity issues with autotools, benefitting also CMake when
building the same combination. In CI it makes turnaround times quicker.

This closes build performance with CMake. autotools still lags behind
because it builds shared and static libcurl in two, separate passes.
CMake does it in one. Manpage compilation isn't batched, it is in CMake.
After unity and test bundle support the slowest parts of the build are
the configuration phase (which is effectively a tedious, non-parallel,
compilation and/or linking of 300+ tiny programs. The next bottleneck
is compiling individual examples and finally test servers (only slow
with autotools).

The autotools implementation is slightly less efficient than CMake,
because 3 sources are permanently excluded while in CMake this isn't
necessary and solved more efficiently while building libtests. There is
also no 'unity' support for tests, making them a less efficient also.

Enable it in CI for most `configure` jobs. Except in GHA/dist (though
it works fine there too), to use the default config there. Also skip for
the Linux AWC-LC job where it made builds time a few seconds longer
(reason undiscovered.)

managen: wordwrap long example lines in ASCII output
The entire ASCII version of the manpage word wraps at a fixed column,
while example command lines can easily go wider than so.

This change now makes manage work on wrapping long example command lines
to make them look nicer. And also to avoid triggering the build error
caused by too long lines in the output.

Quoted lines cannot be wrapped, so managen now errors out if they are
"too long". With this addition, the 'maxline' script is removed as it is
no longer needed.

docs: ascii version of manpage without nroff
Create ASCII version of manpage without nroff

 - build src/tool_hugegelp.c from the ascii manpage
 - move the the manpage and the ascii version build to docs/cmdline-opts
 - remove all use of nroff from the build process
 - should make the build entirely reproducible (by avoiding nroff)

 - partly reverts 2620aa9 to build libcurl option man pages one by one
   in cmake because the appveyor builds got all crazy until I did

The ASCII version of the manpage

 - is built with gen.pl, just like the manpage is
 - has a right-justified column making the appearance similar to the previous
   version
 - uses a 4-space indent per level (instead of the old version's 7)
 - does not do hyphenation of words (which nroff does)

History

  We first made the curl build use nroff for building the hugehelp file in
  December 1998, for curl 5.2.

docs: introduce "curldown" for libcurl man page format
curldown is this new file format for libcurl man pages. It is markdown
inspired with differences:

- Each file has a set of leading headers with meta-data
- Supports a small subset of markdown
- Uses .md file extensions for editors/IDE/GitHub to treat them nicely
- Generates man pages very similar to the previous ones
- Generates man pages that still convert nicely to HTML on the website
- Detects and highlights mentions of curl symbols automatically (when
  their man page section is specified)

tools:

- cd2nroff: converts from curldown to nroff man page
- nroff2cd: convert an (old) nroff man page to curldown
- cdall: convert many nroff pages to curldown versions
- cd2cd: verifies and updates a curldown to latest curldown

This setup generates .3 versions of all the curldown versions at build time.

CI:

Since the documentation is now technically markdown in the eyes of many
things, the CI runs many more tests and checks on this documentation,
including proselint, link checkers and tests that make sure we capitalize the
first letter after a period...
