- Support custom devel paths for c-ares, mbedTLS, nghttp2, libSSH2,
  OpenSSL and zlib. Respectively: CARES_PATH, MBEDTLS_PATH,
  NGHTTP2_PATH, SSH2_PATH, SSL_PATH and ZLIB_PATH.

- Use lib.exe for making the static library instead of link.exe /lib.
  The latter is undocumented and could cause problems as noted in the
  comments.

- Remove a dangling URL that no longer worked. (I was not able to find
  the IDN download at MSDN/microsoft.com, so it seems to be removed.)

- Remove custom override for release-ssh2-ssl-dll-zlib configuration.
  Nobody knows why it was there and as far as we can see is unnecessary.

Users can now specify a client certificate in system certificates store
explicitly using expression like `--cert "CurrentUser\MY\<thumbprint>"`

If you pass empty user/pass asking curl to use Windows Credential
Storage (as stated in the docs) and it has valid credentials for the
domain, e.g.
curl -v -u : --ntlm example.com
currently authentication fails.
This change fixes it by providing proper SPN string to the SSPI API
calls.

The ifdefs have become quite long. Also, the condition for the
definition of CURLOPT_SERVICE_NAME and for setting it from
CURLOPT_SERVICE_NAME have diverged. We will soon also need the two
options for NTLM, at least when using SSPI, for
https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1660.
Just make the definitions unconditional to make that easier.

With specific compiler options selecting the arch like -xarch=sparc on
newer compilers like Oracle Studio 12.4 there is no definition of
__sparcv8 but __sparcv8plus which means the V9 ISA, but limited to the
32ÎíÎñbit subset defined by the V8plus ISA specification, without the
Visual Instruction Set (VIS), and without other implementation-specific
ISA extensions. So it should be the same as __sparcv8.

When a zeroed out allocation is required, use calloc() rather than
malloc() followed by an explicit memset(). The result will be the
same, but using calloc() everywhere increases consistency in the
codebase and avoids the risk of subtle bugs when code is injected
between malloc and memset by accident.

Fix this by removing the DEBUGASSERTs.

Only treat response code as FTP response codes in case the
protocol type is FTP.

This fixes an issue where an HTTP download was treated as FTP
in case libcurl returned with 33. This happens when the
download has already finished and the server responses 416:
  HTTP/1.1 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable

This should not be treated as an FTP error.

Due to the check in Makefile.vc and MakefileBuild.vc, no make call can
be invoked unless a build-type was specified. However, a clean target
only existed when a build type was specified. As a result, the clean
target was unreachable. Made clean target unconditional.

Closes #2457

In the situation of a client connecting to an FTP server using an IPv6
tunnel proxy, the connection info will indicate that the connection is
IPv6. However, because the server behing the proxy is IPv4, it is
permissable to attempt PSV mode. In the case of the FTP server being
IPv4 only, EPSV will always fail, and with the current logic curl will
be unable to connect to the server, as the IPv6 fwdproxy causes curl to
think that EPSV is impossible.

Closes #2432

curl 7.57.0 and up interpret this according to Appendix E.3.2 of RFC
8089 but then returns an error saying this is unimplemented. This is
actually a regression in behavior on both Windows and Unix.

Before curl 7.57.0 this URL was treated as a path of "//foo/bar" and
then passed to the relevant OS API. This means that the behavior of this
case is actually OS dependent.

The Unix path resolution rules say that the OS must handle swallowing
the extra "/" and so this path is the same as "/foo/bar"

The Windows path resolution rules say that this is a UNC path and
automatically handles the SMB access for the program. So curl on Windows
was already doing Appendix E.3.2 without any special code in curl.

Regression

This reverts commit dc854377.

libcurl (with the OpenSSL backend) performs server certificate verification
even if verifypeer == 0 and the verification result is available using
CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT. The commit that is being reverted caused the
CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT to not have useful information for the
verifypeer == 0 use case (it would always have
X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY).
