Keep this job for build tests and drop running tests to improve the CI
experience and save CI time.
It's also a simple build with no dependencies. CI continues to build
a similar job with 9.5.0, which is more stable.
It remains a puzzle why builds with this toolchain (7.3.0 win32 threads
mingw-builds) is flakier and requires more test exceptions than the
indentical build with a slightly different build/version of
the toolchain (9.5.0 posix threads winlibs_mingw).
- Breaks out the existing print out of the LIBSSH2_DEBUG compile-time
flag
- Adds (single) quotation marks around the string to better expose the
actual value
- Adds a NULL print if not set, mirroring other verbose prints in
libssh2
Why was this done?
I was trying out the `sftp` option in `curl`, and found myself hitting
an issue where I was not able to get curl to tell me which username it
was using to connect to a host.
With this change, the `User: ` line is printed with `-v`, just like
other SSH verbose prints.
Instead of using the pattern used with *SSH MD5 public key*, where a
ternary is used to print `NULL` on NULL values, it is using a different
branch to add quotes around the string value.
The quotes around the string value are used to better expose to the user
an empty string value, compared to "no-value".

shutdowns: split shutdown handling from connection pool
Further testing with timeouts in event based processing revealed that
our current shutdown handling in the connection pool was not clear
enough. Graceful shutdowns can only happen inside a multi handle and it
was confusing to track in the code which situation actually applies. It
seems better to split the shutdown handling off and have that code
always be part of a multi handle.
Add `cshutdn.[ch]` with its own struct to maintain connections being
shut down. A `cshutdn` always belongs to a multi handle and uses that
for socket/timeout monitoring.
The `cpool`, which can be part of a multi or share, either passes
connections to a `cshutdn` or terminates them with a one-time, best
effort.
Add an `admin` easy handle to each multi and share. This is used to
perform all maintenance operations where no "real" easy handle is
available. This solves the problem that the multi admin handle requires
some additional initialisation (e.g. timeout list).
The share needs its admin handle as it is often cleaned up when no other
transfer or multi handle exists any more. But we need a `data` in almost
every call.
Fix file:// handling of errors when adding a new connection to the pool.
Changes in `curl` itself:
- for parallel transfers, do not set a connection pool in the share,
rely on the multi's connection pool instead. While not a requirement
for the new `cshutdn` to work, this is
a) helpful in testing to trigger graceful shutdowns
b) a broader code coverage of libcurl via the curl tool
- on test_event with uv, cleanup the multi handle before returning from
parallel_event(). The uv struct is on the stack, cleanup of the multi
later will crash when it tries to register sockets. This is a "eat
your own dogfood" related fix.

CPU architecture or `DllMain()` use. Example from VS2013:
Another crash happened in an UCRT build (VS2017) with a couple of
`printf()`s added to curl's `main()` function:
```
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Debug Assertion Failed!

(it hangs the job in CI due to the GUI popup)

To avoid actual and potential issues, this patch issues a warning on
the shared-libcurl + static-CRT combination and falls back to the
default, shared CRT. IOW a static CRT build now requires a static curl
exe when using the `CURL_STATIC_CRT=ON` option.

windows: drop code and curl manifest targeting W2K and older
curl requires Windows XP since 2023. Drop version detection code using
`GetVersionEx()` aimed to support earlier Windows versions. With that
call deleted, the embedded manifest in `curl.rc` becomes unnecessary.
Delete it too, along with the enabler logic in build systems.
This allows to stop forcing `/MANIFEST:NO` for MSVC builds. Dropping it
fixes VS2008 shared builds, that require an auto-generated SxS
(side-by-side assembly) manifest to find their CRT DLLs. This was the
issue that prevented VS2008 `curl.exe` launching on AppVeyor CI:
```
src/curl.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```
Ref: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/curlorg/curl/builds/51577006/job/eitypvwlb1rxr11d#L261
FWIW the `curl.rc` embedded manifest wasn't ever enabled for VS2008 CI
builds either, because CMake did not pass our custom macro via
`CMAKE_RC_FLAGS` to `rc.exe`. For reasons I could not figure out.
After this patch the curl build no longer inject its own manifest, and
lets the default be applied by linkers and toolchains. It fixes VS2008
shared builds. curl continues to detect the real Windows version via
`RtlVerifyVersionInfo()` from `ntdll`.

runtests: support multi-target cmake, drop workarounds from CI
Support multi-target cmake builds via `CURL_DIRSUFFIX` env. For example:
`export CURL_DIRSUFFIX=Debug/`.
Multi-target generators place their output to `src/<subdir>/`,
`lib/<subdir>/`, `tests/server/<subdir>`, `tests/libtest/<subdir>` and
`tests/unit/<subdir>/` by default. Before this patch, `runtests.pl`
couldn't run on such builds because it expected the binaries under the
their `<subdir>`-less directories. This patch allows to set such subdir
and make `runtests.pl` find the binaries. In CI we use multi-target
builds with tests for MSVC. It also helps Xcode-generator builds, though
in CI we don't have such job running tests.
There may be better solutions to configure this, but passing a custom
value to `runtests.pl` including its subprocesses is somewhat tricky.
The reason the configuration value expects the slash at the end is
because MSYS is automagically expanding the env to a (wrong) absolute
path if the slash is in the front.
Also:
- drop the `-DCMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_*=` workaround from CI.
- replace `resolve` references in tests with a new `%RESOLVE` variable.
It didn't use a filename extension before. After this patch it uses
`exe_ext('TOOL')`. I'm not sure if this is the correct choice vs.
`exe_ext('SRV')`.
- fix `-c` option format in manual.
- fix some whitespace.
Note, in CI we still tweak `CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_*` in jobs
which share steps between `./configure` and cmake. It's easier that way.
