build: prefer `USE_IPV6` macro internally (was: `ENABLE_IPV6`)

Before this patch, two macros were used to guard IPv6 features in curl
sources: `ENABLE_IPV6` and `USE_IPV6`. This patch makes the source use
the latter for consistency with other similar switches.

`-DENABLE_IPV6` remains accepted for compatibility as a synonym for
`-DUSE_IPV6`, when passed to the compiler.

`ENABLE_IPV6` also remains the name of the CMake and `Makefile.vc`
options to control this feature.

windows: use built-in `_WIN32` macro to detect Windows

Windows compilers define `_WIN32` automatically. Windows SDK headers
or build env defines `WIN32`, or we have to take care of it. The
agreement seems to be that `_WIN32` is the preferred practice here.
Make the source code rely on that to detect we're building for Windows.

Public `curl.h` was using `WIN32`, `__WIN32__` and `CURL_WIN32` for
Windows detection, next to the official `_WIN32`. After this patch it
only uses `_WIN32` for this. Also, make it stop defining `CURL_WIN32`.

There is a slight chance these break compatibility with Windows
compilers that fail to define `_WIN32`. I'm not aware of any obsolete
or modern compiler affected, but in case there is one, one possible
solution is to define this macro manually.

grepping for `WIN32` remains useful to discover Windows-specific code.

Also:

- extend `checksrc` to ensure we're not using `WIN32` anymore.

- apply minor formatting here and there.

- delete unnecessary checks for `!MSDOS` when `_WIN32` is present.

misc: fix -Walloc-size warnings

GCC 14 introduces a new -Walloc-size included in -Wextra which gives:

```
src/tool_operate.c: In function ‘add_per_transfer’:
src/tool_operate.c:213:5: warning: allocation of insufficient size ‘1’ for type ‘struct per_transfer’ with size ‘480’ [-Walloc-size]
213 | p = calloc(sizeof(struct per_transfer), 1);

361 | p = calloc(sizeof(struct var), 1);
| ^
```

The calloc prototype is:
```
void *calloc(size_t nmemb, size_t size);
```

So, just swap the number of members and size arguments to match the
prototype, as we're initialising 1 struct of size `sizeof(struct
...)`. GCC then sees we're not doing anything wrong.

tidy-up: process.h detection and use

This patch aims to cleanup the use of `process.h` header and the macro
`HAVE_PROCESS_H` associated with it.

- `process.h` is always available on Windows. In curl, it is required
only for `_beginthreadex()` in `lib/curl_threads.c`.

- `process.h` is also available in MS-DOS. In curl, its only use was in
`lib/smb.c` for `getpid()`. But `getpid()` is in fact declared by
`unistd.h`, which is always enabled via `lib/config-dos.h`. So the
header is not necessary.

- `HAVE_PROCESS_H` was detected by CMake, forced to 1 on Windows and
left to real detection for other platforms.
It was also set to always-on in `lib/config-win32.h` and
`lib/config-dos.h`.
In autotools builds, there was no detection and the macro was never
set.

Based on these observations, in this patch we:

- Rework Windows `getpid` logic in `lib/smb.c` to always use the
equivalent direct Win32 API function `GetCurrentProcessId()`, as we
already did for Windows UWP apps. This makes `process.h` unnecessary
here on Windows.

- Stop #including `process.h` into files where it was not necessary.
This is everywhere, except `lib/curl_threads.c`.

> Strangely enough, `lib/curl_threads.c` compiled fine with autotools
> because `process.h` is also indirecty included via `unistd.h`. This
> might have been broken in autotools MSVC builds, where the latter
> header is missing.

- Delete all remaining `HAVE_PROCESS_H` feature guards, for they were
unnecessary.

- Delete `HAVE_PROCESS_H` detection from CMake and predefined values
from `lib/config-*.h` headers.
