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.

examples/ephiperfifo.c: simplify signal handler

The signal handler registered for SIGINT is only handling SIGINT
so there isn't much need for inspecting the signo. While there,
rename the handler to be more specific.

g_should_exit should really be of sig_atomic_t type, but relying
on autoconf in the examples seems like a bad idea so keep that
for now.

examples: Avoid reserved names in hiperfifo examples

- Trade in __attribute__((unused)) for the classic (void)x to silence
unused symbols.

Because the classic way is not gcc specific. Also because the prior
method mapped to symbol _Unused, which starts with _ and a capital
letter which is reserved.

examples: various fixes in ephiperfifo.c

The main change here is the timer value that was wrong, it was given in
usecs (ms * 1000), while the itimerspec struct wants nsecs (ms * 1000 *
1000). This resulted in the callback being invoked WAY TOO OFTEN.

As a quick check you can run this command before and after applying this
commit:

# shell 1
./ephiperfifo 2>&1 | tee ephiperfifo.log
# shell 2
echo http://hacking.elboulangero.com > hiper.fifo

Then just compare the size of the logs files.
