- Use the Windows API to seed the fallback random generator.
This ensures to always have a random seed, even when libcurl is built
with a vtls backend lacking a random generator API, such as rustls
(experimental), GSKit and certain mbedTLS builds, or, when libcurl is
built without a TLS backend. We reuse the Windows-specific random
function from the Schannel backend.
- Implement support for `BCryptGenRandom()` [1] on Windows, as a
replacement for the deprecated `CryptGenRandom()` [2] function.
It is used as the secure random generator for Schannel, and also to
provide entropy for libcurl's fallback random generator. The new
function is supported on Vista and newer via its `bcrypt.dll`. It is
used automatically when building for supported versions. It also works
in UWP apps (the old function did not).
- Clear entropy buffer before calling the Windows random generator.
This avoids using arbitrary application memory as entropy (with
`CryptGenRandom()`) and makes sure to return in a predictable state
when an API call fails.

- Prevent CMake to auto-detect /dev/urandom when cross-building.
Before this patch, it would detect it in a cross-build scenario on *nix
hosts with this device present. This was a problem for example with
Windows builds, but it could affect any target system with this device
missing. This also syncs detection behaviour with autotools, which also
skips it for cross-builds.
- Also, make sure to never use the file RANDOM_FILE as entropy for libcurl's
fallback random number generator on Windows. Windows does not have the
concept of reading a random stream from a filename, nor any guaranteed
non-world-writable path on disk. With this, a manual misconfiguration or
an overeager auto-detection can no longer result in a user-controllable
seed source.

This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
Ensure that all infof calls with a warning message are capitalized
in the same way. At some point we should probably set up a style-
guide for infof but until then let's aim for a little consistenncy
where we can.
Closes: #8711

- the data needs to be "line-based" anyway since it's also passed to the
debug callback/application
- it makes infof() work like failf() and consistency is good
- there's an assert that triggers on newlines in the format string
- Also removes a few instances of "..."
- Removes the code that would append "..." to the end of the data *iff*
it was truncated in infof()
Closes#7357
scan-build would warn on a potential access of an uninitialized
buffer. I deem it a false positive and had to add this somewhat ugly
work-around to silence it.
... since the 'tv' stood for timeval and this function does not return a
timeval struct anymore.
Also, cleaned up the Curl_timediff*() functions to avoid typecasts and
clean up the descriptive comments.
Closes#2011
... to cater for systems with unsigned time_t variables.
- Renamed the functions to curlx_timediff and Curl_timediff_us.
- Added overflow protection for both of them in either direction for
both 32 bit and 64 bit time_ts
- Reprefixed the curlx_time functions to use Curl_*

... to make all libcurl internals able to use the same data types for
the struct members. The timeval struct differs subtly on several
platforms so it makes it cumbersome to use everywhere.
Ref: #1652Closes#1693
When the random seed is purposely made predictable for testing purposes
by using the CURL_ENTROPY environment variable, process that data in an
endian agnostic way so the the initial random seed is the same
regardless of endianness.
- Change Curl_rand to write to a char array instead of int array.
- Add Curl_rand_hex to write random hex characters to a buffer.

Now Curl_rand() is made to fail if it cannot get the necessary random
level.
Changed the proto of Curl_rand() slightly to provide a number of ints at
once.
Moved out from vtls, since it isn't a TLS function and vtls provides
Curl_ssl_random() for this to use.
