build: delete/replace clang warning pragmas

- delete redundant warning suppressions for `-Wformat-nonliteral`.
This now relies on `CURL_PRINTF()` and it's theoratically possible
that this macro isn't active but the warning is. We're ignoring this
as a corner-case here.

- replace two pragmas with code changes to avoid the warnings.

build: enable missing OpenSSF-recommended warnings, with fixes

build: enable missing OpenSSF-recommended warnings, with fixes

https://best.openssf.org/Compiler-Hardening-Guides/Compiler-Options-Hardening-Guide-for-C-and-C++.html
as of 2023-11-29 [1].

Enable new recommended warnings (except `-Wsign-conversion`):

- enable `-Wformat=2` for clang (in both cmake and autotools).
- add `CURL_PRINTF()` internal attribute and mark functions accepting
printf arguments with it. This is a copy of existing
`CURL_TEMP_PRINTF()` but using `__printf__` to make it compatible
with redefinting the `printf` symbol:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.0.4/gcc_5.html#SEC94
- fix `CURL_PRINTF()` and existing `CURL_TEMP_PRINTF()` for
mingw-w64 and enable it on this platform.
- enable `-Wimplicit-fallthrough`.
- enable `-Wtrampolines`.
- add `-Wsign-conversion` commented with a FIXME.
- cmake: enable `-pedantic-errors` the way we do it with autotools.
Follow-up to d5c0351055d5709da8f3e16c91348092fdb481aa #2747
- lib/curl_trc.h: use `CURL_FORMAT()`, this also fixes it to enable format
checks. Previously it was always disabled due to the internal `printf`
macro.

Fix them:

- fix bug where an `set_ipv6_v6only()` call was missed in builds with
`--disable-verbose` / `CURL_DISABLE_VERBOSE_STRINGS=ON`.
- add internal `FALLTHROUGH()` macro.
- replace obsolete fall-through comments with `FALLTHROUGH()`.
- fix fallthrough markups: Delete redundant ones (showing up as
warnings in most cases). Add missing ones. Fix indentation.
- silence `-Wformat-nonliteral` warnings with llvm/clang.
- fix one `-Wformat-nonliteral` warning.
- fix new `-Wformat` and `-Wformat-security` warnings.
- fix `CURL_FORMAT_SOCKET_T` value for mingw-w64. Also move its
definition to `lib/curl_setup.h` allowing use in `tests/server`.
- lib: fix two wrongly passed string arguments in log outputs.

dynbuf: make *addf() not require extra mallocs

... by introducing a printf() function that appends directly into a
dynbuf: Curl_dyn_vprintf(). This avoids the mandatory extra malloc so if
the buffer is already big enough it can just printf directly into it.

Since this less-malloc version requires tthe use of a library internal
printf function, we only provide this version when building libcurl and
not for the dynbuf code that is used when building the curl tool.

A common set of functions instead of many separate implementations for

roughly the same amount as before, possibly a few less.
