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.

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.

examples: adhere to curl code style

All plain C examples now (mostly) adhere to the curl code style. While
they are only examples, they had diverted so much and contained all
sorts of different mixed code styles by now. Having them use a unified
style helps users and readability. Also, as they get copy-and-pasted
widely by users, making sure they're clean and nice is a good idea.
