src: fix potential macro confusion in cmake unity builds

Sources used `lib/curlx.h` with both `ENABLE_CURLX_PRINTF` set and unset
before including it.

In a cmake "unity" batch where the first included source had it unset,
the next sources did not get the macros requested with
`ENABLE_CURLX_PRINTF` because `lib/curl.x` had already been included
without them.

Fix it by by making the macros enabled permanently and globally for
internal sources, and dropping `ENABLE_CURLX_PRINTF`.

This came up while testing unity builds with smaller batches. The full,
default unity build where all `src` is bundled up in a single unit, was
not affected.

Fixes:
```
$ cmake -B build -DCMAKE_UNITY_BUILD=ON -DCMAKE_UNITY_BUILD_BATCH_SIZE=15
$ make -C build

curl: support embedding a CA bundle

Add the ability to embed a CA bundle into the curl binary. It is used
when no other runtime or build-time option set one.

This helps curl-for-win macOS and Linux builds to run standalone, and
also helps Windows builds to avoid picking up the CA bundle from an
arbitrary (possibly world-writable) location (though this behaviour is
not currently disablable).

Usage:
- cmake: `-DCURL_CA_EMBED=/path/to/curl-ca-bundle.crt`
- autotools: `--with-ca-embed=/path/to/curl-ca-bundle.crt`
- Makefile.mk: `CURL_CA_EMBED=/path/to/curl-ca-bundle.crt`

Also add new command-line option `--dump-ca-embed` to dump the embedded
CA bundle to standard output.

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: delete unused macro `isxdigit_ascii` since
f65f750742068f579f4ee6d8539ed9d5f0afcb85.
- 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`.

tool: use our own stderr variable

Earlier this year we changed our own stderr variable to use the standard
name `stderr` (to avoid bugs where someone is using `stderr` instead of
the curl-tool specific variable). This solution needed to override the
standard `stderr` symbol via the preprocessor. This in turn didn't play
well with unity builds and caused curl tool to crash or stay silent due
to an uninitialized stderr. This was a hard to find issue, fixed by
manually breaking out one file from the unity sources.

To avoid two these two tricks, this patch implements a different
solution: Restore using our own local variable for our stderr output and
leave `stderr` as-is. To avoid using `stderr` by mistake, add a
`checksrc` rule (based on logic we already used in lib for `strerror`)
that detects any `stderr` use in `src` and points to using our own
variable instead: `tool_stderr`.

cli tool: do not use disabled protocols

As they are now rejected by the library, take care of not passing
disabled protocol names to CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS_STR and
CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS_STR.

Rather than using the CURLPROTO_* constants, dynamically assign protocol
numbers based on the order they are listed by curl_version_info().

New type proto_set_t implements prototype bit masks: it should therefore
be large enough to accomodate all library-enabled protocols. If not,
protocol numbers beyond the bit count of proto_set_t are recognized but
"inaccessible": when used, a warning is displayed and the value is
ignored. Should proto_set_t overflows, enabled protocols are reordered to
force those having a public CURLPROTO_* representation to be accessible.

Code has been added to subordinate RTMP?* protocols to the presence of
RTMP in the enabled protocol list, being returned by curl_version_info()
or not.

version: rename threadsafe-init to threadsafe

Referring to Daniel's article [1], making the init function thread-safe
was the last bit to make libcurl thread-safe as a whole. So the name of
the feature may as well be the more concise 'threadsafe', also telling
the story that libcurl is now fully thread-safe, not just its init
function. Chances are high that libcurl wants to remain so in the
future, so there is little likelihood of ever needing any other distinct
`threadsafe-<name>` feature flags.

For consistency we also shorten `CURL_VERSION_THREADSAFE_INIT` to
`CURL_VERSION_THREADSAFE`, update its description and reference libcurl's
thread safety documentation.
