Prior to this change a workaround for Windows to recv before every send
was enabled by default. The way it works is a recv is called before
every send and saves the received data, in case send fails because in
Windows apparently that can wipe out the socket's internal received
data buffer.
This feature has led to several bugs because the way libcurl operates
it waits on a socket to read or to write, and may not at all times
check for buffered receive data.
Two recent significant bugs this workaround caused:
- Broken Schannel TLS 1.3 connections (#9431)
- HTTP/2 arbitrary hangs (#10253)
The actual code remains though it is disabled by default. Though future
changes to connection filter buffering could improve the situation IMO
it's just not tenable to manage this workaround.

This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
