The current netcdf-c release has some problems with the mingw platform
on windows. Mostly they are path issues.
Changes to support mingw+msys2:
-------------------------------
* Enable option of looking into the windows registry to find
the mingw root path. In aid of proper path handling.
* Add mingw+msys as a specific platform in configure.ac and move testing
of the platform to the front so it is available early.
* Handle mingw X libncpoco (dynamic loader) properly even though
mingw does not yet support it.
* Handle mingw X plugins properly even though mingw does not yet support it.
* Alias pwd='pwd -W' to better handle paths in shell scripts.
* Plus a number of other minor compile irritations.
* Disallow the use of multiple nc_open's on the same file for windows
(and mingw) because windows does not seem to handle these properly.
Not sure why we did not catch this earlier.
* Add mountpoint info to dpathmgr.c to help support mingw.
* Cleanup dpathmgr conversions.
Known problems:
---------------
* I have not been able to get shared libraries to work, so
plugins/filters must be disabled.
* There is some kind of problem with libcurl that I have not solved,
so all uses of libcurl (currently DAP+Byterange) must be disabled.
Misc. other fixes:
------------------
* Cleanup the relationship between ENABLE_PLUGINS and various other flags
in CMakeLists.txt and configure.ac.
* Re-arrange the TESTDIRS order in Makefile.am.
* Add pseudo-breakpoint to nclog.[ch] for debugging.
* Improve the documentation of the path manager code in ncpathmgr.h
* Add better support for relative paths in dpathmgr.c
* Default the mode args to NCfopen to include "b" (binary) for windows.
* Add optional debugging output in various places.
* Make sure that everything builds with plugins disabled.
* Fix numerous (s)printf inconsistencies betweenb the format spec
and the arguments.
The ncdump test set has a number of inter-test dependencies
that are not properly established in ncdump/CMakeLists.txt.
So this PR attempts to:
1. reorder the tests
2. change tests in CMakeLists.txt from build_bin_test_no_prefix to add_bin_test_no_prefix so they get executed
Plus a couple of minor bug fixes.
1. Change ENABLE_NC4 => ENABLE_HDF5 in github action.
2. fix a memory error in findtestserver.c.in
3. fix bug in ncdap_tests/tst_urls.sh
4. fix netcdf file name bug in tst_netcdf4_4.sh
1. Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2043
* FreeBSD build fails because of conflicts in defining the fileno() function. So removed all extern declarations of fileno.
2. Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2124
* There were a couple of problems here.
* I was conflating msys with mingw and they need separate handling of paths. So treat mingw like windows.
* memio.c was not always writing the full content of the memory to file. Untested fix by properly accounting for zero size writes.
* Fix bug when skipping white space in tst_xcache.c
3. Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/2105
* On MINGW, bash and other POSIX utilities use a mounted root directory,
but executables compiled for Windows do not recognise the mount point.
Ensure that Windows paths are used in tests of Windows executables.
4. Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2132
* Apparently the Intel C compiler on OSX defines isnan etc.
So disable declaration in dutil.c under that condition.
5. Fix and re-enable test_rcmerge.sh by allowing override of where to
look for .rc files
6. CMakeLists.txt suppresses certain ncdump directory tests because of differences in printing floats/doubles.
* Extend the list to include those that also fail under mingw.
* Suppress the mingw tests in ncdump/Makefile.am

H/T to [Egbert Eich](https://github.com/e4t) and [Bas Couwenberg](https://github.com/sebastic) for this PR.
It is undesirable to make netcdf be dependent on the availability
of libxml2, but it is desirable to allow its use if available.
In order to do this, a wrapper API (include/ncxml.h) was constructed
that supports either ezxml or libxml2 as the implementation.
Additionally, the xml support code was moved to a new directory
netcdf-c/libncxml.
Primary changes:
* Create a new sub-directory named netcdf-c/libncxml to hold all the xml implementation code.
* Move ezxml.c and ezxml.h to libncxml
* Create a wrapper API -- include/ncxml.h
* Create an implementation, ncxml_ezxml.c to support use of ezxml.
* Create an implementation, ncxml_xml2.c to support use of libxml2.
* Add a check for libxml2 in configure.ac and CMakeLists.txt
* Modify libdap to use the wrapper API instead of ezxml directly.
Misc. Other Changes:
* Change include/netcdf_json.h from built source to be part of the distribution.

re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/2119
* Modify libsrc to allow byte-range reading of netcdf-3 files in private S3 buckets; this required using the aws sdk. Also add a test case.
* The aws sdk can sometimes cause problems if the Awd::ShutdownAPI function is not called. So at optional atexit() support to ensure it is called. This is disabled for Windows.
* Add documentation to nczarr.md on how to build and use the aws sdk under windows. Currently it builds, but testing fails.
* Switch testing from stratus to the Unidata bucket on S3.
* Improve support for the s3: url protocol.
* Add a s3 specific utility code file: ds3util.c
* Modify NC_infermodel to attempt to read the magic number of byte-ranged files in S3.
## Misc.
* Move and rename the core S3 SDK wrapper code (libnczarr/zs3sdk.cpp) to libdispatch since it now used in libsrc as well as libnczarr.
* Add calls to nc_finalize in the utilities in case atexit is disabled.
* Add header only json parser to the distribution rather than as a built source.
