tidy-up: OS names

Use these words and casing more consistently across text, comments and
one curl tool output:
AIX, ALPN, ANSI, BSD, Cygwin, Darwin, FreeBSD, GitHub, HP-UX, Linux,
macOS, MS-DOS, MSYS, MinGW, NTLM, POSIX, Solaris, UNIX, Unix, Unicode,
WINE, WebDAV, Win32, winbind, WinIDN, Windows, Windows CE, Winsock.

Mostly OS names and a few more.

Also a couple of other minor text fixups.

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.

These are triggered by `-Wsign-converion` and causing errors unless
explicitly silenced. It makes more sense to fix them, there just a few
of them.

curl_setup_once: Remove ERRNO/SET_ERRNO macros

Prior to this change (SET_)ERRNO mapped to GetLastError/SetLastError
for Win32 and regular errno otherwise.

I reviewed the code and found no justifiable reason for conflating errno
on WIN32 with GetLastError/SetLastError. All Win32 CRTs support errno,
and any Win32 multithreaded CRT supports thread-local errno.

inet_pton.c: Fix MSVC run-time check failure

Visual Studio complains with a message box:

"Run-Time Check Failure #1 - A cast to a smaller data type has caused a
loss of data. If this was intentional, you should mask the source of
the cast with the appropriate bitmask.

For example:
char c = (i & 0xFF);

Changing the code in this way will not affect the quality of the
resulting optimized code."

This is because only 'val' is cast to unsigned char, so the "& 0xff" has
no effect.

build: fix circular header inclusion with other packages

This commit renames lib/setup.h to lib/curl_setup.h and
renames lib/setup_once.h to lib/curl_setup_once.h.

Removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard foreign
to libcurl. [1]

Removes the need and presence of an alarming notice we carried
in old setup_once.h [2]

----------------------------------------

1 - lib/setup_once.h used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro as header inclusion guard
up to commit ec691ca3 which changed this to HEADER_CURL_SETUP_ONCE_H,
this single inclusion guard is enough to ensure that inclusion of
lib/setup_once.h done from lib/setup.h is only done once.

Additionally lib/setup.h has always used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro to
protect inclusion of setup_once.h even after commit ec691ca3, this
was to avoid a circular header inclusion triggered when building a
c-ares enabled version with c-ares sources available which also has
a setup_once.h header. Commit ec691ca3 exposes the real nature of
__SETUP_ONCE_H usage in lib/setup.h, it is a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl belonging to c-ares's setup_once.h

The renaming this commit does, fixes the circular header inclusion,
and as such removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl. Macro __SETUP_ONCE_H no longer used in libcurl.

2 - Due to the circular interdependency of old lib/setup_once.h and the
c-ares setup_once.h header, old file lib/setup_once.h has carried
back from 2006 up to now days an alarming and prominent notice about
the need of keeping libcurl's and c-ares's setup_once.h in sync.

Given that this commit fixes the circular interdependency, the need
and presence of mentioned notice is removed.

All mentioned interdependencies come back from now old days when
the c-ares project lived inside a curl subdirectory. This commit
removes last traces of such fact.
