- the data needs to be "line-based" anyway since it's also passed to the
debug callback/application
- it makes infof() work like failf() and consistency is good
- there's an assert that triggers on newlines in the format string
- Also removes a few instances of "..."
- Removes the code that would append "..." to the end of the data *iff*
it was truncated in infof()

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.
Cloes #7176
A struct bufref holds a buffer pointer, a data size and a destructor.
When freed or its contents are changed, the previous buffer is implicitly
released by the associated destructor. The data size, although not used
internally, allows binary data support.
A unit test checks its handling methods: test 1661

This reverts commit 1cba36d216.
CMake provides properties that can be set on a target to rename the

... in most cases instead of 'struct connectdata *' but in some cases in
addition to.
- We mostly operate on transfers and not connections.
- We need the transfer handle to log, store data and more. Everything in
libcurl is driven by a transfer (the CURL * in the public API).
- This work clarifies and separates the transfers from the connections
better.
- We should avoid "conn->data". Since individual connections can be used
by many transfers when multiplexing, making sure that conn->data
points to the current and correct transfer at all times is difficult
and has been notoriously error-prone over the years. The goal is to
ultimately remove the conn->data pointer for this reason.
Closes#6425
Extend the syntax of CURLOPT_RESOLVE strings: allow using a '+' prefix
(similar to the existing '-' prefix for removing entries) to add
DNS cache entries that will time out just like entries that are added
by libcurl itself.
Append " (non-permanent)" to info log message in case a non-permanent
entry is added.
Adjust relevant comments to reflect the new behavior.
Adjust documentation.
Extend unit1607 to test the new functionality.

... as it makes the URL parser accept "very-long-hostname://" as a valid

The cache content is not duplicated, like other caches, but the setting
and specified file name are.
Test 1908 is extended to verify this somewhat. Since the duplicated
handle gets the same file name, the test unfortunately overwrites the
same file twice (with different contents) which makes it hard to check
automatically.
Closes#5923
To reduce the amount of allocations needed for creating a Curl_addrinfo

GCC 10 warns about this with warning: implicit conversion
from 'SANITIZEcode' to 'CURLcode' [-Wenum-conversion]
Since 'expected_result' is not really of type 'CURLcode' and
it is not exposed in any way, we can just use 'SANITIZEcode'.

Fixed the alt-svc parser to treat a newline as end of line.
The unit tests in test 1654 were done without CRLF and thus didn't quite
match the real world. Now they use CRLF as well.

* runtests.pl:
- Fix out-of-tree build under CMake when srcdir is not set. Default
srcdir to the location of runtests.pl.
- Add a hack to allow CMake to use the TFLAGS option as documented
in tests/README and used in scripts/travis/script.sh.
* Bump CMake version to 3.2 for USES_TERMINAL, dropping Debian Jessie
support (no one should care, it is already EOL.).
* Remove CTest since it defines its own 'test' target with no tests
since all unittests are already broken and not built by default.
* Add new test targets based on the options from Makefile.am. Since
new test targets are rarely added, I opted for duplicating the
runtests.pl options as opposed to creating a new Makefile.inc file.
Use top-level target names (test-x) instead of x-test since that is
used by CI and others.
Closes#5358
The default target should only build libcurl and curl. Add a dedicated
'testdeps' target which will be used later when running tests. Note that
unittests are currently broken in CMake and already excluded.

A common set of functions instead of many separate implementations for
creating buffers that can grow when appending data to them. Existing
functionality has been ported over.
In my early basic testing, the total number of allocations seem at
roughly the same amount as before, possibly a few less.
See docs/DYNBUF.md for a description of the API.

More connection cache accesses are protected by locks.
CONNCACHE_* is a beter prefix for the connection cache lock macros.
Curl_attach_connnection: now called as soon as there's a connection
struct available and before the connection is added to the connection
cache.
Curl_disconnect: now assumes that the connection is already removed from
the connection cache.
