Previously, -libssh2/-rtmp options assumed that OpenSSL is also enabled
(and then failed with an error when not finding expected OpenSSL headers),
but this isn't necessarly true, e.g. when building both libssh2 and curl
against Schannel. This patch makes sure to only enable the OpenSSL backend
with -libssh2/-rtmp, when there was no SSL option explicitly selected.
- Re-implement the logic as a single block of script.
- Also fix an indentation while there.

Commit f65d7889b added getreferrer, and commit ae8e11ed5 multi-legacy,
both of which missed adding .gitignore clauses for the built binaries.

Add curl_url_strerror() to convert CURLUcode into readable string and
facilitate easier troubleshooting in programs using URL API.
Extend CURLUcode with CURLU_LAST for iteration in unit tests.
Update man pages with a mention of new function.
Update example code and tests with new functionality where it fits.
Closes#7605
The signal handler registered for SIGINT is only handling SIGINT
so there isn't much need for inspecting the signo. While there,
rename the handler to be more specific.
g_should_exit should really be of sig_atomic_t type, but relying
on autoconf in the examples seems like a bad idea so keep that
for now.

Closes#7310
time_t representation is undefined and varies on bitsize and signedness,
and as of C11 could be even non integer.
instead of casting to unsigned long (which would truncate in systems
with a 32bit long after 2106) use difftime to get the elapsed time as a
double and print that (without decimals) instead.
alternatively a cast to curl_off_t and its corresponding print
formatting could have been used (at least in POSIX) but portability and
curl agnostic code was prioritized.
Closes#7490
The API is soon two years old and deserves being shown as the primary
way to drive multi code as it makes it much easier to write code.
multi-poll: removed
multi-legacy: add to show how we did multi API use before
curl_multi_wait/poll.
Closes#7352
The same callback code is used in:
imap-append.c
smtp-authzid.c
smtp-mail.c
smtp-multi.c
smtp-ssl.c
smtp-tls.c
It should not assume that it can copy full lines into the buffer as it
will encourage sloppy coding practices. Instead use byte-wise logic and
check/acknowledge the buffer size appropriately.

Fixes#7330Closes#7331
Warning: this will make existing curl command lines that use metalink to
stop working.
Reasons for removal:
1. We've found several security problems and issues involving the
metalink support in curl. The issues are not detailed here. When
working on those, it become apparent to the team that several of the
problems are due to the system design, metalink library API and what
the metalink RFC says. They are very hard to fix on the curl side
only.
2. The metalink usage with curl was only very briefly documented and was
not following the "normal" curl usage pattern in several ways, making
it surprising and non-intuitive which could lead to further security
issues.
3. The metalink library was last updated 6 years ago and wasn't so
active the years before that either. An unmaintained library means
there's a security problem waiting to happen. This is probably reason
enough.
4. Metalink requires an XML parsing library, which is complex code (even
the smaller alternatives) and to this day often gets security
updates.
5. Metalink is not a widely used curl feature. In the 2020 curl user
survey, only 1.4% of the responders said that they'd are using it. In
2021 that number was 1.2%. Searching the web also show very few
traces of it being used, even with other tools.
6. The torrent format and associated technology clearly won for
downloading large files from multiple sources in parallel.
