Trying dual-stack on some embedded platform, I noticed that quite
frequently (20%) libCurl starts from IPv4 regardless the Happy Eyeballs
timeout value. After debugging this issue, I noticed that this happens
if c-ares resolver response for IPv6 family comes before IPv4 (which was
randomly happening in my tests).
In such cases, because libCurl puts the last resolver response on top of
the address list, when IPv4 resolver response comes after IPv6 one - the
IPv4 family starts the connection phase instead of IPv6 family.
The solution for this issue is to always put IPv6 addresses on top of
the address list, regardless the order of resolver responses.

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.
Closes#6853

... 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.

Now that all functions in select.[ch] take timediff_t instead
of the limited int or long, we can remove type conversions
and related preprocessor checks to silence compiler warnings.
Avoiding conversions from time_t was already done in 842f73de.

Previously it was stored in a global state which contributed to
curl_global_init's thread unsafety. This boolean is now instead figured
out in curl_multi_init() and stored in the multi handle. Less effective,
but thread safe.
Closes#4851
The code was duplicated in the various resolver backends.
Also, it was called after the call to `Curl_ipvalid`, which matters in
case of `CURLRES_IPV4` when called from `connect.c:bindlocal`. This
caused test 1048 to fail on classic MinGW.
The code ignores `conn->ip_version` as done previously in the
individual resolver backends.
Move the call to the `resolver_start` callback up to appease test 655,
which wants it to be called also for literal addresses.

It was used (intended) to pass in the size of the 'socks' array that is

When using c-ares for asyn dns, the dns socket fd was silently closed
by c-ares without curl being aware. curl would then 'realize' the fd
has been removed at next call of Curl_resolver_getsock, and only then
notify the CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION to remove fd from its poll set with
CURL_POLL_REMOVE. At this point the fd is already closed.
By using ares socket state callback (ARES_OPT_SOCK_STATE_CB), this
patch allows curl to be notified that the fd is not longer needed
for neither for write nor read. At this point by calling
Curl_multi_closed we are able to notify multi with CURL_POLL_REMOVE
before the fd is actually closed by ares.
In asyn-ares.c Curl_resolver_duphandle we can't use ares_dup anymore
since it does not allow passing a different sock_state_cb_data

When the application just started the transfer and then stops it while
the name resolve in the background thread hasn't completed, we need to

name resolves successfully.

curl_printf.h defines printf to curl_mprintf, etc. This can cause
problems with external headers which may use
__attribute__((format(printf, ...))) markers etc.
To avoid that they cause problems with system includes, we include
curl_printf.h after any system headers. That makes the three last
headers to always be, and we keep them in this order:
curl_printf.h
curl_memory.h
memdebug.h
None of them include system headers, they all do funny #defines.

They tend to never get updated anyway so they're frequently inaccurate
and we never go back to revisit them anyway. We document issues to work
on properly in KNOWN_BUGS and TODO instead.
Since we just started make use of free(NULL) in order to simplify code,
this change takes it a step further and:
- converts lots of Curl_safefree() calls to good old free()
- makes Curl_safefree() not check the pointer before free()
The (new) rule of thumb is: if you really want a function call that
frees a pointer and then assigns it to NULL, then use Curl_safefree().
But we will prefer just using free() from now on.
