windows: fail early with a missing windres in autotools

`windres` is not always auto-detected by autotools when building for
Windows. When this happened, the build failed with a confusing error due
to the empty `RC` command:

```
/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=RC --mode=compile -I../include -DCURL_EMBED_MANIFEST -i curl.rc -o curl.o
[...]
Usage: /sandbox/curl/libtool [OPTION]... [MODE-ARG]...
Try 'libtool --help' for more information.
libtool: error: unrecognised option: '-I../include'
```

Improve this by verifying if `RC` is set, and fail with a clear error
otherwise.

lib: sync guard for Curl_getaddrinfo_ex() definition and use

lib: sync guard for Curl_getaddrinfo_ex() definition and use

`Curl_getaddrinfo_ex()` gets _defined_ with `HAVE_GETADDRINFO` set. But,
`hostip4.c` _used_ it with `HAVE_GETADDRINFO_THREADSAFE` set alone. It
meant a build with the latter, but without the former flag could result
in calling this function but not defining it, and failing to link.

Patch this by adding an extra check for `HAVE_GETATTRINFO` around the
call.

Before this patch, build systems prevented this condition. Now they
don't need to.

While here, simplify the related CMake logic on Windows by setting
`HAVE_GETADDRINFO_THREADSAFE` to the detection result of
`HAVE_GETADDRINFO`. This expresses the following intent clearer than
the previous patch and keeps the logic in a single block of code:
When we have `getaddrinfo()` on Windows, it's always threadsafe.

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.

curl: timeout in the read callback

The read callback can timeout if there's nothing to read within the
given maximum period. Example use case is when doing "curl -m 3
telnet://example.com" or anything else that expects input on stdin or
similar that otherwise would "hang" until something happens and then not
respect the timeout.
