EGD is Entropy Gathering Daemon, a socket-based entropy source supported
by pre-OpenSSL v1.1 versions and now deprecated. curl also deprecated it
a while ago.
Its detection in CMake was broken all along because OpenSSL libs were
not linked at the point of feature check.
Delete detection from both cmake and autotools, along with the related
source snippet, and the `--with-egd-socket=` `./configure` option.

Detecting headers and lib separately makes sense when headers come in
variations or with extra ones, but this wasn't the case here. These were
duplicate/parallel macros that we had to keep in sync with each other
for a working build. This patch leaves a single macro for each of these
dependencies:
- Rely on `HAVE_LIBZ`, delete parallel `HAVE_ZLIB_H`.
Also delete CMake logic making sure these two were in sync, along with
a toggle to turn off that logic, called `CURL_SPECIAL_LIBZ`.
Also delete stray `HAVE_ZLIB` defines.
There is also a `USE_ZLIB` variant in `lib/config-dos.h`. This patch
retains it for compatibility and deprecates it.
- Rely on `USE_LIBSSH2`, delete parallel `HAVE_LIBSSH2_H`.
Also delete `LIBSSH2_WIN32`, `LIBSSH2_LIBRARY` from
`winbuild/MakefileBuild.vc`, these have a role when building libssh2
itself. And `CURL_USE_LIBSSH`, which had no use at all.
Also delete stray `HAVE_LIBSSH2` defines.
- Rely on `USE_LIBSSH`, delete parallel `HAVE_LIBSSH_LIBSSH_H`.
Also delete `LIBSSH_WIN32`, `LIBSSH_LIBRARY` and `HAVE_LIBSSH` from
`winbuild/MakefileBuild.vc`, these were the result of copy-pasting the
libssh2 line, and were not having any use.
- Delete unused `HAVE_LIBPSL_H` and `HAVE_LIBPSL`.

This header is for providing the argument types for recv() and send()

The support for compiling on Mac OS 9 hasn't been modified since 2001

resurrected from Git history.

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
This was previously defined by the obsolete AC_TYPE_SIGNAL macro,
which was removed in 2682e5f5. The deprecation text says
> Your code may safely assume C89 semantics that RETSIGTYPE is void.
So, remove it and just use void instead.
Closes#6861
Commit e06fa7462a removed support for libgcrypt leaving only
support for nettle which has been the default crypto library in
GnuTLS for a long time. There were however a few conditionals on
USE_GNUTLS_NETTLE which cause compilation errors in the metalink
code (as it used the gcrypt fallback instead as a result). See the
below autobuild for an example of the error:
https://curl.se/dev/log.cgi?id=20210225123226-30704#prob1
This removes all uses of USE_GNUTLS_NETTLE and also removes the
gcrypt support from the metalink code while at it.
