.. and update some docs to explain curl_global_* is now thread-safe.
Follow-up to 23af112 which made curl_global_init/cleanup thread-safe.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/9016
Referring to Daniel's article [1], making the init function thread-safe
was the last bit to make libcurl thread-safe as a whole. So the name of
the feature may as well be the more concise 'threadsafe', also telling
the story that libcurl is now fully thread-safe, not just its init
function. Chances are high that libcurl wants to remain so in the
future, so there is little likelihood of ever needing any other distinct
`threadsafe-<name>` feature flags.
For consistency we also shorten `CURL_VERSION_THREADSAFE_INIT` to
`CURL_VERSION_THREADSAFE`, update its description and reference libcurl's
thread safety documentation.

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.
Closes#8869
Make all libcurl related options use .nf (no fill) for the SYNOPSIS
section - for consistent look. roffit then renders that section using
<pre> (monospace font) in html for the website.
Extended manpage-syntax (test 1173) with a basic check for it.
Closes#8062
This is the same order we already enforce among the options' man pages:
consistency is good. Add lots of previously missing examples.
Adjust the manpage-syntax script for this purpose, used in test 1173.
Closes#7904
- Removed from global_init since it isn't thread-safe. The symbol will
still remain to not break compiles, it just won't have any effect going
forward.
- make the internals NOT loop on EINTR (the opposite from previously).
It only risks returning from the select/poll/wait functions early, and that
should be risk-free.
Closes#4840
This bit is no longer used. It is not clear what it meant for users to
"init the TLS" in a world with different TLS backends and since the
introduction of multissl, libcurl didn't properly work if inited without
this bit set.
Not a single user responded to the call for users of it:

into a counter, and thus you can now do multiple curl_global_init() and you
are then supposed to do the same amount of calls to curl_global_cleanup().
Bryan also updated the docs accordingly.
