build: prefer `USE_IPV6` macro internally (was: `ENABLE_IPV6`)

Before this patch, two macros were used to guard IPv6 features in curl
sources: `ENABLE_IPV6` and `USE_IPV6`. This patch makes the source use
the latter for consistency with other similar switches.

`-DENABLE_IPV6` remains accepted for compatibility as a synonym for
`-DUSE_IPV6`, when passed to the compiler.

`ENABLE_IPV6` also remains the name of the CMake and `Makefile.vc`
options to control this feature.

build: delete `HAVE_STDINT_H` and `HAVE_INTTYPES_H`

We use `stdint.h` unconditionally in all places except one. These uses
are imposed by external dependencies / features. nghttp2, quic, wolfSSL
and `HAVE_MACH_ABSOLUTE_TIME` do require this C99 header. It means that
any of these features make curl require a C99 compiler. (In case of
MSVC, this means Visual Studio 2010 or newer.)

This patch changes the single use of `stdint.h` guarded by
`HAVE_STDINT_H` to use `stdint.h` unconditionally. Also stop using
`inttypes.h` as an alternative there. `HAVE_INTTYPES_H` wasn't used
anywhere else, allowing to delete this feature check as well.

Makefile.mk: portable Makefile.m32

Update bare GNU Make `Makefile.m32` to:

- Move objects into a subdirectory.
- Add support for MS-DOS. Tested with DJGPP.
- Add support for Watt-32 (on MS-DOS).
- Add support for AmigaOS.
- Rename `Makefile.m32` to `Makefile.mk`
- Replace `ARCH` with `TRIPLET`.
- Build `tool_hugehelp.c` proper (when tools are available).
- Drop MS-DOS compatibility macro `USE_ZLIB` (replaced by `HAVE_LIBZ`)
- Add support for `ZLIB_LIBS` to override `-lz`.
- Omit object files when building examples.
- Default `CC` to `gcc` once again, for convenience. (Caveat: compiler
name `cc` cannot be set now.)
- Set `-DCURL_NO_OLDIES` for examples, like autotools does.
- Delete `makefile.dj` files. Notice the configuration details and
defaults are not retained with the new method.
- Delete `makefile.amiga` files. A successful build needs a few custom
options. We're also not retaining all build details from the existing
Amiga make files.
- Rename `Makefile.m32` to `Makefile.mk` to reflect that they are not
Windows/MinGW32-specific anymore.
- Add support for new `CFG` options: `-map`, `-debug`, `-trackmem`
- Set `-DNDEBUG` by default.
- Allow using `-DOS=...` in all `lib/config-*.h` headers, syncing this
with `config-win32.h`.
- Look for zlib parts in `ZLIB_PATH/include` and `ZLIB_PATH/lib`
instead of bare `ZLIB_PATH`.

Note that existing build configurations for MS-DOS and AmigaOS likely
become incompatible with this change.

Example AmigaOS configuration:
```
export CROSSPREFIX=/opt/amiga/bin/m68k-amigaos-
export CC=gcc
export CPPFLAGS='-DHAVE_PROTO_BSDSOCKET_H'
export CFLAGS='-mcrt=clib2'
export LDFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
export LIBS='-lnet -lm'
make -C lib -f Makefile.mk
make -C src -f Makefile.mk
```

Example MS-DOS configuration:
```
export CROSSPREFIX=/opt/djgpp/bin/i586-pc-msdosdjgpp-
export WATT_PATH=/opt/djgpp/net/watt
export ZLIB_PATH=/opt/djgpp
export OPENSSL_PATH=/opt/djgpp
export OPENSSL_LIBS='-lssl -lcrypt'
export CFG=-zlib-ssl
make -C lib -f Makefile.mk
make -C src -f Makefile.mk

tidy-up: delete parallel/unused feature flags

Detecting headers and lib separately makes sense when headers come in
variations or with extra ones, but this wasn't the case here. These were
duplicate/parallel macros that we had to keep in sync with each other
for a working build. This patch leaves a single macro for each of these
dependencies:

- Rely on `HAVE_LIBZ`, delete parallel `HAVE_ZLIB_H`.

Also delete CMake logic making sure these two were in sync, along with
a toggle to turn off that logic, called `CURL_SPECIAL_LIBZ`.

Also delete stray `HAVE_ZLIB` defines.

There is also a `USE_ZLIB` variant in `lib/config-dos.h`. This patch
retains it for compatibility and deprecates it.

- Rely on `USE_LIBSSH2`, delete parallel `HAVE_LIBSSH2_H`.

Also delete `LIBSSH2_WIN32`, `LIBSSH2_LIBRARY` from
`winbuild/MakefileBuild.vc`, these have a role when building libssh2
itself. And `CURL_USE_LIBSSH`, which had no use at all.

Also delete stray `HAVE_LIBSSH2` defines.

- Rely on `USE_LIBSSH`, delete parallel `HAVE_LIBSSH_LIBSSH_H`.

Also delete `LIBSSH_WIN32`, `LIBSSH_LIBRARY` and `HAVE_LIBSSH` from
`winbuild/MakefileBuild.vc`, these were the result of copy-pasting the
libssh2 line, and were not having any use.

- Delete unused `HAVE_LIBPSL_H` and `HAVE_LIBPSL`.
