- If the UTF-8 to UTF-16 conversion fails in Windows Unicode builds then
no longer fall back to assuming the string is in a local encoding.
Background:
Some functions in Windows Unicode builds must convert UTF-8 to UTF-16 to
pass to the Windows CRT API wide-character functions since in Windows
UTF-8 is not a valid locale (or at least 99% of the time right now).
Prior to this change if the Unicode encoding conversion failed then
libcurl would assume, for backwards compatibility with applications that
may have written their code for non-Unicode builds, attempt to convert
the string from local encoding to UTF-16.
That type of "best effort" could theoretically cause some type of
security or other problem if a string that was locally encoded was also
valid UTF-8, and therefore an unexpected UTF-8 to UTF-16 conversion
could occur.

- Change the Windows char <-> UTF-8 conversion functions to return an
allocated copy of the passed in string instead of the original.
Prior to this change the curlx_convert_ functions would, as what I
assume was an optimization, not make a copy of the passed in string if
no conversion was required. No conversion is required in non-UNICODE
Windows builds since our tchar strings are type char and remain in
whatever the passed in encoding is, which is assumed to be UTF-8 but may
be other encoding.
In contrast the UNICODE Windows builds require conversion
(wchar <-> char) and do return a copy. That inconsistency could lead to
programming errors where the developer expects a copy, and does not
realize that won't happen in all cases.

If libcurl is built with Unicode support for Windows then it is assumed
the filename string is Unicode in UTF-8 encoding and it is converted to
UTF-16 to be passed to the wide character version of the respective
function (eg wstat). However the filename string may actually be in the
local encoding so, even if it successfully converted to UTF-16, if it
could not be stat/accessed then try again using the local code page
version of the function (eg wstat fails try stat).
We already do this with fopen (ie wfopen fails try fopen), so I think it
makes sense to extend it to stat and access functions.

Use them only if `_UNICODE` is defined, in which case command-line
arguments have been converted to UTF-8.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/3784
Prior to this change twice as many bytes as necessary were malloc'd when
converting wchar to UTF8. To allay confusion in the future I also
changed the variable name for the amount of bytes from len to bytes.

While compiling lib/curl_multibyte.c with '-DUSE_WIN32_IDN' etc. I was
getting:
f:\mingw32\src\inet\curl\lib\memdebug.h(38): error C2054: expected '('
to follow 'CURL_EXTERN'
f:\mingw32\src\inet\curl\lib\memdebug.h(38): error C2085:
'curl_domalloc': not in formal parameter list
Since we just started make use of free(NULL) in order to simplify code,
this change takes it a step further and:
- converts lots of Curl_safefree() calls to good old free()
- makes Curl_safefree() not check the pointer before free()
The (new) rule of thumb is: if you really want a function call that
frees a pointer and then assigns it to NULL, then use Curl_safefree().
But we will prefer just using free() from now on.
This commit renames lib/setup.h to lib/curl_setup.h and
renames lib/setup_once.h to lib/curl_setup_once.h.
Removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard foreign
to libcurl. [1]
Removes the need and presence of an alarming notice we carried
in old setup_once.h [2]
----------------------------------------
1 - lib/setup_once.h used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro as header inclusion guard
up to commit ec691ca3 which changed this to HEADER_CURL_SETUP_ONCE_H,
this single inclusion guard is enough to ensure that inclusion of
lib/setup_once.h done from lib/setup.h is only done once.
Additionally lib/setup.h has always used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro to
protect inclusion of setup_once.h even after commit ec691ca3, this
was to avoid a circular header inclusion triggered when building a
c-ares enabled version with c-ares sources available which also has
a setup_once.h header. Commit ec691ca3 exposes the real nature of
__SETUP_ONCE_H usage in lib/setup.h, it is a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl belonging to c-ares's setup_once.h
The renaming this commit does, fixes the circular header inclusion,
and as such removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl. Macro __SETUP_ONCE_H no longer used in libcurl.
2 - Due to the circular interdependency of old lib/setup_once.h and the
c-ares setup_once.h header, old file lib/setup_once.h has carried
back from 2006 up to now days an alarming and prominent notice about
the need of keeping libcurl's and c-ares's setup_once.h in sync.
Given that this commit fixes the circular interdependency, the need
and presence of mentioned notice is removed.
All mentioned interdependencies come back from now old days when
the c-ares project lived inside a curl subdirectory. This commit
removes last traces of such fact.

SSPI related code now compiles with ANSI and WCHAR versions of security
methods (WinCE requires WCHAR versions of methods).
Pulled UTF8 to WCHAR conversion methods out of idn_win32.c into their own file.
curl_sasl.c - include curl_memory.h to use correct memory functions.
getenv.c and telnet.c - WinCE compatibility fix
With some committer adjustments
