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.

hostip: Make Curl_ipv6works function independent of getaddrinfo

- Do not assume IPv6 is not working when getaddrinfo is not present.

The check to see if IPv6 actually works is now independent of whether
there is any resolver that can potentially resolve a hostname to IPv6.

Prior to this change if getaddrinfo() was not found at compile time then
Curl_ipv6works() would be defined as a macro that returns FALSE.

When getaddrinfo is not found then libcurl is built with CURLRES_IPV4
defined instead of CURLRES_IPV6, meaning that it cannot do IPv6 lookups
in the traditional way. With this commit if libcurl is built with IPv6
support (ENABLE_IPV6) but without getaddrinfo (CURLRES_IPV6), and the
IPv6 stack is actually working, then it is possible for libcurl to
resolve IPv6 addresses by using DoH.

CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE: preventing wrong IP version from being used

In some situations, it was possible that a transfer was setup to
use an specific IP version, but due do DNS caching or connection
reuse, it ended up using a different IP version from requested.

This commit changes the effect of CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE from simply
restricting address resolution to preventing the wrong connection
type being used, when choosing a connection from the pool, and
to restricting what addresses could be used when establishing
a new connection.

It is important that all addresses versions are resolved, even if
not used in that transfer in particular, because the result is
cached, and could be useful for a different transfer with a
different CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE setting.

lib: pass in 'struct Curl_easy *' to most functions

... in most cases instead of 'struct connectdata *' but in some cases in
addition to.

- We mostly operate on transfers and not connections.

- We need the transfer handle to log, store data and more. Everything in
libcurl is driven by a transfer (the CURL * in the public API).

- This work clarifies and separates the transfers from the connections
better.

- We should avoid "conn->data". Since individual connections can be used
by many transfers when multiplexing, making sure that conn->data
points to the current and correct transfer at all times is difficult
and has been notoriously error-prone over the years. The goal is to
ultimately remove the conn->data pointer for this reason.
