cpool: rename "connection cache/conncache" to "Connection Pools/cpool"

This is a better match for what they do and the general "cpool"
var/function prefix works well.

The pool now handles very long hostnames correctly.

The following changes have been made:

* 'struct connectdata', e.g. connections, keep new members
named `destination` and ' destination_len' that fully specifies
interface+port+hostname of where the connection is going to.
This is used in the pool for "bundling" of connections with
the same destination. There is no limit on the length any more.
* Locking: all locks are done inside conncache.c when calling
into the pool and released on return. This eliminates hazards
of the callers keeping track.
* 'struct connectbundle' is now internal to the pool. It is no
longer referenced by a connection.
* 'bundle->multiuse' no longer exists. HTTP/2 and 3 and TLS filters
no longer need to set it. Instead, the multi checks on leaving
MSTATE_CONNECT or MSTATE_CONNECTING if the connection is now
multiplexed and new, e.g. not conn->bits.reuse. In that case
the processing of pending handles is triggered.
* The pool's init is provided with a callback to invoke on all
connections being discarded. This allows the cleanups in
`Curl_disconnect` to run, wherever it is decided to retire
a connection.
* Several pool operations can now be fully done with one call.
Pruning dead connections, upkeep and checks on pool limits
can now directly discard connections and need no longer return
those to the caller for doing that (as we have now the callback
described above).
* Finding a connection for reuse is now done via `Curl_cpool_find()`
and the caller provides callbacks to evaluate the connection
candidates.
* The 'Curl_cpool_check_limits()' now directly uses the max values
that may be set in the transfer's multi. No need to pass them
around. Curl_multi_max_host_connections() and
Curl_multi_max_total_connections() are gone.
* Add method 'Curl_node_llist()' to get the llist a node is in.
Used in cpool to verify connection are indeed in the list (or
not in any list) as they need to.

I left the conncache.[ch] as is for now and also did not touch the
documentation. If we update that outside the feature window, we can
do this in a separate PR.

Multi-thread safety is not achieved by this PR, but since more details
on how pools operate are now "internal" it is a better starting
point to go for this in the future.

lib: graceful connection shutdown

When libcurl discards a connection there are two phases this may go
through: "shutdown" and "closing". If a connection is aborted, the
shutdown phase is skipped and it is closed right away.

The connection filters attached to the connection implement the phases
in their `do_shutdown()` and `do_close()` callbacks. Filters carry now a
`shutdown` flags next to `connected` to keep track of the shutdown
operation.

Filters are shut down from top to bottom. If a filter is not connected,
its shutdown is skipped. Notable filters that *do* something during
shutdown are HTTP/2 and TLS. HTTP/2 sends the GOAWAY frame. TLS sends
its close notify and expects to receive a close notify from the server.

As sends and receives may EAGAIN on the network, a shutdown is often not
successful right away and needs to poll the connection's socket(s). To
facilitate this, such connections are placed on a new shutdown list
inside the connection cache.

Since managing this list requires the cooperation of a multi handle,
only the connection cache belonging to a multi handle is used. If a
connection was in another cache when being discarded, it is removed
there and added to the multi's cache. If no multi handle is available at
that time, the connection is shutdown and closed in a one-time,
best-effort attempt.

When a multi handle is destroyed, all connection still on the shutdown
list are discarded with a final shutdown attempt and close. In curl
debug builds, the environment variable `CURL_GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN` can be
set to make this graceful with a timeout in milliseconds given by the
variable.

The shutdown list is limited to the max number of connections configured
for a multi cache. Set via CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS. When the
limit is reached, the oldest connection on the shutdown list is
discarded.

- In multi_wait() and multi_waitfds(), collect all connection caches
involved (each transfer might carry its own) into a temporary list.
Let each connection cache on the list contribute sockets and
POLLIN/OUT events it's connections are waiting for.

- in multi_perform() collect the connection caches the same way and let
them peform their maintenance. This will make another non-blocking
attempt to shutdown all connections on its shutdown list.

- for event based multis (multi->socket_cb set), add the sockets and
their poll events via the callback. When `multi_socket()` is invoked
for a socket not known by an active transfer, forward this to the
multi's cache for processing. On closing a connection, remove its
socket(s) via the callback.

TLS connection filters MUST NOT send close nofity messages in their
`do_close()` implementation. The reason is that a TLS close notify
signals a success. When a connection is aborted and skips its shutdown
phase, the server needs to see a missing close notify to detect
something has gone wrong.

A graceful shutdown of FTP's data connection is performed implicitly
before regarding the upload/download as complete and continuing on the
control connection. For FTP without TLS, there is just the socket close
happening. But with TLS, the sent/received close notify signals that the
transfer is complete and healthy. Servers like `vsftpd` verify that and
reject uploads without a TLS close notify.

- added test_19_* for shutdown related tests
- test_19_01 and test_19_02 test for TCP RST packets
which happen without a graceful shutdown and should
no longer appear otherwise.
- add test_19_03 for handling shutdowns by the server
- add test_19_04 for handling shutdowns by curl
- add test_19_05 for event based shutdowny by server
- add test_30_06/07 and test_31_06/07 for shutdown checks
on FTP up- and downloads.

build: untangle `CURLDEBUG` and `DEBUGBUILD` macros

`CURLDEBUG` is meant to enable memory tracking, but in a bunch of cases,
it was protecting debug features that were supposed to be guarded with
`DEBUGBUILD`.

Replace these uses with `DEBUGBUILD`.

This leaves `CURLDEBUG` uses solely for its intended purpose: to enable
the memory tracking debug feature.

Also:
- autotools: rely on `DEBUGBUILD` to enable `checksrc`.
Instead of `CURLDEBUG`, which worked in most cases because debug
builds enable `CURLDEBUG` by default, but it's not accurate.
- include `lib/easyif.h` instead of keeping a copy of a declaration.
- add CI test jobs for the build issues discovered.

- add an `id` long to Curl_easy, -1 on init
- once added to a multi (or its own multi), it gets

- `id` is unique among all transfers using the same
cache until reaching LONG_MAX where it will wrap
around. So, not unique eternally.

lib: pass in 'struct Curl_easy *' to most functions

... in most cases instead of 'struct connectdata *' but in some cases in
addition to.

- We mostly operate on transfers and not connections.

- We need the transfer handle to log, store data and more. Everything in
libcurl is driven by a transfer (the CURL * in the public API).

- This work clarifies and separates the transfers from the connections
better.

- We should avoid "conn->data". Since individual connections can be used
by many transfers when multiplexing, making sure that conn->data
points to the current and correct transfer at all times is difficult
and has been notoriously error-prone over the years. The goal is to
ultimately remove the conn->data pointer for this reason.
