Slightly faster with more robust code. Uses fewer and smaller mallocs.
- remove two fields from the URL handle struct
- reduce copies and allocs
- use dynbuf buffers more instead of custom malloc + copies
- uses dynbuf to build the host name in reduces serial alloc+free within
the same function.
- move dedotdotify into urlapi.c and make it static, not strdup the input
and optimize it by checking for . and / before using strncmp
- remove a few strlen() calls
- add Curl_dyn_setlen() that can "trim" an existing dynbuf

Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
... by introducing a printf() function that appends directly into a
dynbuf: Curl_dyn_vprintf(). This avoids the mandatory extra malloc so if
the buffer is already big enough it can just printf directly into it.
Since this less-malloc version requires tthe use of a library internal
printf function, we only provide this version when building libcurl and
not for the dynbuf code that is used when building the curl tool.
Closes#5998
Updated terminology in docs, comments and phrases to refer to C strings
as "null-terminated". Done to unify with how most other C oriented docs
refer of them and what users in general seem to prefer (based on a
single highly unscientific poll on twitter).

Fixes#5598Closes#5608
... as returning a "" is not a good idea as the string is supposed to be
allocated and returning a const string will cause issues.

Follow-up to ed35d6590eCloses#5405
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.
