Fixes errors on second `find_package(CURL)`. This is a frequent case
with transitive dependencies:
```
CMake Error at ...:
add_library cannot create ALIAS target "CURL::libcurl" because another
target with the same name already exists.
```
Test to reproduce:
```cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.27) # must be 3.18 or higher
project(curl)
set(CURL_DIR "example/lib/cmake/CURL/")
find_package(CURL CONFIG REQUIRED)
find_package(CURL CONFIG REQUIRED) # fails
add_executable(main main.c)
target_link_libraries(main CURL::libcurl)
```

Closes#11913
This patch adds the ability to build a static and shared libcurl library
in a single build session. It also adds an option to select which one to
use when building the curl executable.
New build options:
- `BUILD_STATIC_LIBS`. Default: `OFF`.
Enabled automatically if `BUILD_SHARED_LIBS` is `OFF`.
- `BUILD_STATIC_CURL`. Default: `OFF`.
Requires `BUILD_STATIC_LIBS` enabled.
Enabled automatically if building static libcurl only.
- `STATIC_LIB_SUFFIX`. Default: empty.
- `IMPORT_LIB_SUFFIX`. Default: `_imp` if implib filename would collide
with static lib name (typically with MSVC) in Windows builds.
Otherwise empty.
Also:
- Stop setting the `CURL_STATICLIB` macro via `curl_config.h`, and pass
it directly to the compiler. This also allows to delete a condition
from `tests/server/CMakeLists.txt`.
- Complete a TODO by following the logic used in autotools (also for
`LIBCURL_NO_SHARED`), and set `-DCURL_STATICLIB` in `Cflags:` of
`libcurl.pc` for _static-only_ curl builds.
- Convert an existing CI test to build both shared and static libcurl.
Closes#11505
- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
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
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
Removed three (mostly usesless) README files from docs/
Closes#5141
Use 'GNUInstallDirs' standard module to set destinations of installed
files.
Use uppercase "CURL" names instead of lowercase "curl" to match standard
'FindCURL.cmake' CMake module:
* https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindCURL.html
Meaning:
* Install 'CURLConfig.cmake' instead of 'curl-config.cmake'
* User should call 'find_package(CURL)' instead of 'find_package(curl)'
Use 'configure_package_config_file' function to generate
'CURLConfig.cmake' file. This will make 'curl-config.cmake.in' template
file smaller and handle components better. E.g. current configuration
report no error if user specified unknown components (note: new
configuration expects no components, report error if user will try to
specify any).
