Repeatedly we see problems where using curl_multi_wait() is difficult or
just awkward because if it has no file descriptor to wait for
internally, it returns immediately and leaves it to the caller to wait
for a small amount of time in order to avoid occasional busy-looping.
This is often missed or misunderstood, leading to underperforming
applications.
This change introduces curl_multi_poll() as a replacement drop-in
function that accepts the exact same set of arguments. This function
works identically to curl_multi_wait() - EXCEPT - for the case when
there's nothing to wait for internally, as then this function will by
itself wait for a "suitable" short time before it returns. This
effectiely avoids all risks of busy-looping and should also make it less
likely that apps "over-wait".
This also changes the curl tool to use this funtion internally when
doing parallel transfers and changes curl_easy_perform() to use it
internally.

This restores the ability to build a static lib with
--disable-symbol-hiding to keep non-curl_ symbols.

Fixes#2830Closes#2831
Absent any 'symbol map' or script to limit what gets exported, static
linking of libraries previously resulted in a libcurl with curl's and
those other symbols being (re-)exported.
This did not happen if 'versioned symbols' were enabled (which is not
the default) because then a version script is employed.
This limits exports to everything starting in 'curl_*'., which is
what "libcurl.vers" exports.
This avoids strange side-effects such as with mixing methods
from system libraries and those erroneously offered by libcurl.
Closes#2127
Back in 2008, (and commit 3f3d6ebe66) we changed the logic in how we
determine the native type for `curl_off_t`. To really make sure we
didn't break ABI without bumping SONAME, we introduced logic that
attempted to detect that it would use a different size and thus not be
compatible. We also provided a manual switch that allowed users to tell
configure to bump SONAME by force.
Today, we know of no one who ever got a SONAME bump auto-detected and we
don't know of anyone who's using the manual bump feature. The auto-
detection is also no longer working since we introduced defining
curl_off_t in system.h (7.55.0).
Finally, this bumping logic is not present in the cmake build.
Closes#1861
and a conversion to markdown. Removed the lib/README.* files. The idea
being to move toward having INTERNALS as the one and only "book" of
internals documentation.
Added a TOC to top of the document.
Linking on Solaris 10 x86 with Sun Studio 12 failed when we upgraded
automake for the release builds.

This commit renames lib/setup.h to lib/curl_setup.h and
renames lib/setup_once.h to lib/curl_setup_once.h.
Removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard foreign
to libcurl. [1]
Removes the need and presence of an alarming notice we carried
in old setup_once.h [2]
----------------------------------------
1 - lib/setup_once.h used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro as header inclusion guard
up to commit ec691ca3 which changed this to HEADER_CURL_SETUP_ONCE_H,
this single inclusion guard is enough to ensure that inclusion of
lib/setup_once.h done from lib/setup.h is only done once.
Additionally lib/setup.h has always used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro to
protect inclusion of setup_once.h even after commit ec691ca3, this
was to avoid a circular header inclusion triggered when building a
c-ares enabled version with c-ares sources available which also has
a setup_once.h header. Commit ec691ca3 exposes the real nature of
__SETUP_ONCE_H usage in lib/setup.h, it is a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl belonging to c-ares's setup_once.h
The renaming this commit does, fixes the circular header inclusion,
and as such removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl. Macro __SETUP_ONCE_H no longer used in libcurl.
2 - Due to the circular interdependency of old lib/setup_once.h and the
c-ares setup_once.h header, old file lib/setup_once.h has carried
back from 2006 up to now days an alarming and prominent notice about
the need of keeping libcurl's and c-ares's setup_once.h in sync.
Given that this commit fixes the circular interdependency, the need
and presence of mentioned notice is removed.
All mentioned interdependencies come back from now old days when
the c-ares project lived inside a curl subdirectory. This commit
removes last traces of such fact.

lib/objnames.inc provides definition of curl_10char_object_name() shell
function. The intended purpose of this function is to transliterate a
(*.c) source file name that may be longer than 10 characters, or not,
into a string with at most 10 characters which may be used as an OS/400
object name.
Test case 1221 does unit testng of this function and also verifies
that it is possible to generate distinct short object names for all
curl and libcurl *.c source file names.
lib/objnames-test.sh is the shell script used for test case 1221.
tests/runtests.pl modified to accept shell script test cases.
More details inside lib/objnames.inc and lib/objnames-test.sh
BLANK_AT_MAKETIME may be used in our Makefile.am files to blank
LIBS variable used in generated makefile at makefile processing
time. Doing this functionally prevents LIBS from being used for
all link targets in given makefile.
Since automake 1.12.4, the warnings are issued on running automake:
warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
Avoid INCLUDES and roll these flags into AM_CPPFLAGS.
Compile tested on:
Ubuntu 10.04 (automake 1:1.11.1-1)
Ubuntu 12.04 (automake 1:1.11.3-1ubuntu2)
Arch Linux (automake 1.12.4)
configure script now provides conditional definitions for Makefile.am
that result in CURL_HIDDEN_SYMBOLS being defined by resulting makefiles
when appropriate.
Additionally, configure script option for symbol hiding control is now
named --enable-symbol-hiding --disable-symbol-hiding. While still valid,
old option name --enable-hidden-symbols --disable-hidden-symbols will
be deprecated in some future release.
BUILDING_LIBCURL and CURL_STATICLIB are no longer defined in curl_config.h,
configure will generate appropriate conditionals so that mentioned symbols
get defined and used in Makefiles at compilation time
