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.

build: add more picky warnings and fix them

Enable more picky compiler warnings. I've found these options in the
nghttp3 project when implementing the CMake quick picky warning
functionality for it [1].

`-Wunused-macros` was too noisy to keep around, but fixed a few issues
it revealed while testing.

- autotools: reflect the more precisely-versioned clang warnings.
Follow-up to 033f8e2a08eb1d3102f08c4d8c8e85470f8b460e #12324
- autotools: sync between clang and gcc the way we set `no-multichar`.
- autotools: avoid setting `-Wstrict-aliasing=3` twice.
- autotools: disable `-Wmissing-noreturn` for MSYS gcc targets [2].
It triggers in libtool-generated stub code.

- lib/timeval: delete a redundant `!MSDOS` guard from a `WIN32` branch.

- lib/curl_setup.h: delete duplicate declaration for `fileno`.
Added in initial commit ae1912cb0d494b48d514d937826c9fe83ec96c4d
(1999-12-29). This suggests this may not be needed anymore, but if
it does, we may restore this for those specific (non-Windows) systems.
- lib: delete unused macro `FTP_BUFFER_ALLOCSIZE` since
c1d6fe2aaa5a26e49a69a4f2495b3cc7a24d9394.

- lib/mqtt: delete unused macro `MQTT_HEADER_LEN`.
- lib/multi: delete unused macro `SH_READ`/`SH_WRITE`.
- lib/hostip: add `noreturn` function attribute via new `CURL_NORETURN`
macro.
- lib/mprintf: delete duplicate declaration for `Curl_dyn_vprintf`.
- lib/rand: fix `-Wunreachable-code` and related fallouts [3].
- lib/setopt: fix `-Wunreachable-code-break`.
- lib/system_win32 and lib/timeval: fix double declarations for
`Curl_freq` and `Curl_isVistaOrGreater` in CMake UNITY mode [4].
- lib/warnless: fix double declarations in CMake UNITY mode [5].
This was due to force-disabling the header guard of `warnless.h` to
to reapply it to source code coming after `warnless.c` in UNITY
builds. This reapplied declarations too, causing the warnings.
Solved by adding a header guard for the lines that actually need
to be reapplied.
- lib/vauth/digest: fix `-Wunreachable-code-break` [6].
- lib/vssh/libssh2: fix `-Wunreachable-code-break` and delete redundant
block.
- lib/vtls/sectransp: fix `-Wunreachable-code-break` [7].
- lib/vtls/sectransp: suppress `-Wunreachable-code`.
Detected in `else` branches of dynamic feature checks, with results
known at compile-time, e.g.
```c
if(SecCertificateCopySubjectSummary) /* -> true */
```
Likely fixable as a separate micro-project, but given SecureTransport
is deprecated anyway, let's just silence these locally.
- src/tool_help: delete duplicate declaration for `helptext`.
- src/tool_xattr: fix `-Wunreachable-code`.
- tests: delete duplicate declaration for `unitfail` [8].
- tests: delete duplicate declaration for `strncasecompare`.
- tests/libtest: delete duplicate declaration for `gethostname`.
Originally added in 687df5c8c39c370a59999b9afc0917d808d978b7
(2010-08-02).
Got complicated later: c49e9683b85ba9d12cbb6eebc4ab2c8dba68fbdc
If there are still systems around with warnings, we may restore the
prototype, but limited for those systems.
- tests/lib2305: delete duplicate declaration for
`libtest_debug_config`.
- tests/h2-download: fix `-Wunreachable-code-break`.

multi: round the timeout up to prevent early wakeups

Curl_timediff rounds down to the millisecond, so curl_multi_perform can
be called too early, then we get a timeout of 0 and call it again.

The code already handled the case of timeouts which expired less than
1ms in the future. By rounding up, we make sure we will never ask the
platform to wake up too early.

tool_util: Improve Windows version of tvnow()

- Change tool_util.c tvnow() for Windows to match more closely to
timeval.c Curl_now().

- Create a win32 init function for the tool, since some initialization
is required for the tvnow() changes.

Prior to this change the monotonic time function used by curl in Windows
was determined at build-time and not runtime. That was a problem because
when curl was built targeted for compatibility with old versions of
Windows (eg _WIN32_WINNT < 0x0600) it would use GetTickCount which wraps
every 49.7 days that Windows has been running.

This change makes curl behave similar to libcurl's tvnow function, which
determines at runtime whether the OS is Vista+ and if so calls
QueryPerformanceCounter instead. (Note QueryPerformanceCounter is used
because it has higher resolution than the more obvious candidate
GetTickCount64). The changes to tvnow are basically a copy and paste but
the types in some cases are different.

timeval: Use high resolution timestamps on Windows

- Use QueryPerformanceCounter on Windows Vista+

There is confusing info floating around that QueryPerformanceCounter
can leap etc, which might have been true long time ago, but no longer
the case nowadays (perhaps starting from WinXP?). Also, boost and
std::chrono::steady_clock use QueryPerformanceCounter in a similar way.

Prior to this change GetTickCount or GetTickCount64 was used, which has
lower resolution. That is still the case for <= XP.
