Closes#10205
`WANT_IDN_PROTOTYPES` was necessary to avoid using a header that came
via an optional package. MS stopped distributing this package some
years ago and the winidn definitions are part of standard headers (via
`windows.h`) since Vista.
Auto-detect Vista inside `lib/idn_win32.c` and enable the manual
definitions if building for an older Windows.
This allows to delete this manual knob from all build-systems.
Also drop the `_SAL_VERSION` sub-case:
Our manual definitions are now only enabled with old systems. We assume
that code analysis is not run on such systems, allowing us to delete the
SAL-friendly flavour of these.

Closes#9793
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`.

Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.

- Rename VC15 -> VC14.10, VC17 -> VC14.30.
The projects directory that holds the pre-generated Visual Studio
project files uses VC<ver> to indicate the MSVC version. At some point
support for Visual Studio 2017 (Visual Studio version 15 which uses MSVC
14.10) was added as VC15. Visual Studio 2022 (Visual Studio version 17
which uses MSVC 14.30) project files were recently added and followed
that same format using VC17.
There is no such MSVC version (yet) as VC15 or VC17.
For VS 2017 for example, the name we use is correct as either VS17,
VS2017, VC14.10. I opted for the latter since we use VC for earlier
versions (eg VC10, VC12, etc).
