This local autotools logic was put in place in
9e24b9c7afbcb81120af4cf3f6cdee49a06d8224 (in 2012) which disabled it for
Windows unconditionally. Testing reveals that it actually works with
tested toolchains (mingw-w64 and CI ones), so let's allow this build
feature on that platform. Bringing this in sync with CMake, which already
supported this.

autotools uses brute-force to detect `recv`/`send`/`select` argument
lists, by interating through _all_ argument type combinations on each
`./configure` run. This logic exists since
01fa02d0b545e1433dced2430561f8c0c72b74a9 (from 2006) and was a bit later
extended with Windows support.
This results in a worst-case number of compile + link cycles as below:
- `recv`: 96
- `send`: 192
- `select`: 60
Total: 348 (the number of curl C source files is 195, for comparison)
Notice that e.g. curl-for-win autotools builds require two `./configure`
invocations, doubling these numbers.
`recv` on Windows was especially unlucky because `SOCKET` (the correct
choice there) was listed _last_ in one of the outer trial loops. This
resulted in lengthy waits while autotools was trying all invalid
combinations first, wasting cycles, disk writes and slowing down
iteration.
This patch reduces the amount of idle work by reordering the tests in
a way to succeed first on a well-known platform such as Windows, and
also on non-Windows by testing for POSIX prototypes first, on the
assumption that these are the most likely candidates these days. (We do
not touch `select`, where the order was already optimal for these
platforms.)
For non-Windows, this means to try a return value of `ssize_t` first,
then `int`, reordering the buffer argument type to try `void *` first,
then `byte *`, and prefer the `const` flavor with `send`. If we are
here, also stop testing for `SOCKET` type in non-Windows builds.
After the patch, detection on Windows is instantaneous. It should also be
faster on popular platforms such as Linux and BSD-based ones.
If there are known-good variations for other platforms, they can also be
fast-tracked like above, given a way to check for that platform inside
the autotools logic.

This is the single place in libcurl code where it uses the "native"
s(n)printf() function. Used for writing floats. The use has been
reviewed and vetted and uses a HUGE target buffer, but switching to
snprintf() still makes this safer and removes build-time warnings.

curl_version_info().
Protocol names are sorted case-insensitively before output to satisfy CI

The protocol list returned by curl_version_info() is augmented with all
RTMP protocol variants.

This script now also finds all .3 man pages in docs/include and
docs/include/opts, extracts all uses of CURL* symbols and verifies that all
symbols mentioned in docs are defined in public headers.
A "global symbol" is one of those matching a known prefix and the script makes
an attempt to check all/most of them. Just using *all* symbols that match
CURL* proved matching a little too many other references as well and turned
difficult turning into something useful.
Closes#9544
Previously this test only scanned a subset of the headers, which made us
accidentally miss symbols that were provided in the others. Now, the script

This spellchecker checks markdown files. For this reason this job
converts all man pages in the repository to markdown with pandoc before
the check runs.
The perl script 'cleanspell' filters out details from the man page in
the process, to avoid the spellchecker trying to spellcheck things it
can't. Like curl specific symbols and the SYNOPSIS and EXAMPLE sections
of libcurl man pages.
The spell checker does not check words in sections that are within pre,
strong and em tags.
'spellcheck.words' is a custom word list with additional accepted words.

The "Failed to connect to" message after a connection failure would
include the strerror message based on the presumed previous socket

error is used instead.

Avoid letting outdated CI runs continue if a PR receives
new changes. Outside a PR we let them continue running
by tying the concurrency to the commit hash instead.
Also only let one CodeQL or Hacktoberfest job run at a time.
Other CI platforms we use have this build in, but GitHub
unfortunately neither by default nor with a simple option.
This saves CI resources and therefore a little energy.

After this update autotools builds will compile and link `.rc` resources
to Windows executables. Bringing this feature on par with CMake and
Makefile.m32 builds. And also making it unnecessary to improvise these
steps manually, while monkey patching build files, e.g. [0].
You can customize the resource compiler via the `RC` envvar, and its
options via `RCFLAGS`.
This harmless warning may appear throughout the build, even though the
autotools manual documents [1] `RC` as a valid tag, and it fails when
omitting one:
`libtool: error: ignoring unknown tag RC`
