When building with Cygwin or MinGW, libtool uses a wrapper executable
instead of a wrapper script [1], which is written in C and throws
missing-variable-declarations warnings. Don't enable these warnings on
Cygwin and MinGW in order to avoid warnings for every executable built,
which spams the test suite output when using Cygwin's clang.

Since 5598b0bd63, clang -v is used to
detect the clang version. The version number was expected to come after
the word "version". For Apple clang, this doesn't work as it has its
own versioning scheme.
The version number is now first searched after the string
"based on LLVM". This works for Apple clang before version 7, and also
for e.g. Ubuntu's clang up to version 3.7. If it's not found and the
version string contains "Apple LLVM version", clang version 3.7 is
assumed, which is the version that comes with Xcode 7. Otherwise, the
version number is still expected after the word "version", which works
for very old Apple clang versions.

Previously, that warning was only implicitly active in C90 mode.
Enable it unconditionally as already done for GCC.

- Change prepends to appends because user's LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS should
always come first so they're searched before ours.

We're mostly saying just "curl" in lower case these days so here's a big
cleanup to adapt to this reality. A few instances are left as the
project could still formally be considered called cURL.
Some builds of GCC produce output on both stdout and stderr when --help
--verbose is used. The 2>&1 redirection caused them to be arbitrarily
interleaved with each other because of stream buffering. Consequently,
grep failed to match the fvisibility= string in the mixed output, even
though the string was present in GCC's standard output.
This led to silently disabling symbol hiding in some builds of curl.
These configure vars are modified in a curl-specific way but never
evaluated or loaded from cache, even though they are designated as
_cv_. We could either implement proper AC_CACHE_CHECKs for them, or
remove them completely.
Fixes#603 as ac_cv_func_gethostbyname is no longer clobbered, and
AC_CHECK_FUNC(gethostbyname...) will no longer spuriously succeed after
the first configure run with caching.
`ac_cv_func_strcasecmp` is curious, see #770.
`eval "ac_cv_func_$func=yes"` can still cause problems as it works in
tandem with AC_CHECK_FUNCS and then potentially modifies its result. It
would be best to rewrite this test to use a new CURL_CHECK_FUNCS macro,
which works the same as AC_CHECK_FUNCS but relies on caching the values
of curl_cv_func_* variables, without modifiying ac_cv_func_*.
These configure vars are modified in a curl-specific way and modified by
the configure process, but are never loaded from cache, even though they
are designated as _cv_. We should implement proper AC_CACHE_CHECKs for
them eventually.
This option disables any attempts in configure to create dependency on
stuff requiring linking to librt.so and libpthread.so, in this case this
means clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &mt).
We were in need to build curl which doesn't link libpthread.so to avoid
the following bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16628.
The latest version(s) of the icc compiler no longer accept the extra
space in the -we (warning enable), -wd (warning disable), etc.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2013-09/0182.html
The compiler test used a variable before it was assigned when it tried
to see how it acts on a mismatching prototype, which could cause a false
positive.
Instead of claiming it is an error, we call it a "note" to reduce the
severity level. But the following text now says the [variable] "*should*
only be used to specify"... instead of previously having said "may".
This function was only used twice, both in places where performance
isn't crucial (socks + if2ip). Removing the use of this function removes
the need to have our private version for systems without it == reduced
amount of code.
Also, in the SOCKS case it is clearly better to fail gracefully rather
than to truncate the results.
This work was triggered by a bug report on the strcal prototype in
strequal.h.
strlcat was added in commit db70cd28 in February 2001!

- Take into account that 'wc' may return leading spaces.
- Set internationalization behavior variables.
