CMake was unconditionally setting output locations globally, but
it should not do that if it is not the top-level project (e.g.
during chain building). Detect this fact and only set the output
location when top level.

There is a reported build issue where getrandom() is detected
but compile fails due to a missing prototype. This commit attempts
to resolve that issue.
Fixes Bug: #665
Fix By: Brad House (@bradh352)
c-ares does not have any concept of thread-safety. It has always been 100% up to the implementor to ensure they never call c-ares from more than one thread at a time. This patch adds basic thread-safety support, which can be disabled at compile time if not desired. It uses a single recursive mutex per channel, which should be extremely quick when uncontested so overhead should be minimal.
Fixes Bug: #610

When building for UWP (WindowsStore), additional headers are needed and some functions are not available. This also adds AppVeyor CI/CD support to catch these issues in the future.
Fix By: Deal (@halx99) and Brad House (@bradh352)
AppVeyor was using Visual Studio 2015 along with old versions of MinGW. Update to the latest AppVeyor provides and also add an MSYS2 build test using MinGW which will use the bleeding edge version.
When researching #590 this also uncovered a bug in cmake not properly detecting if_indextoname() on windows. This has been corrected as well as the underlying issue reported in #590.

HOSTS FILE PROCESSING OVERVIEW
==============================
The hosts file on the system contains static entries to be processed locally
rather than querying the nameserver. Each row is an IP address followed by
a list of space delimited hostnames that match the ip address. This is used
for both forward and reverse lookups.
We are caching the entire parsed hosts file for performance reasons. Some
files may be quite sizable and as per Issue #458 can approach 1/2MB in size,
and the parse overhead on a rapid succession of queries can be quite large.
The entries are stored in forwards and backwards hashtables so we can get
O(1) performance on lookup. The file is cached until the file modification
timestamp changes (or 60s if there is no implemented stat() capability).
The hosts file processing is quite unique. It has to merge all related hosts
and ips into a single entry due to file formatting requirements. For
instance take the below:
```
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.1 host.example.com host
192.168.1.5 host.example.com host
2620🔢:1 host.example.com host6.example.com host6 host
```
This will yield 2 entries.
1) ips: `127.0.0.1,::1`
hosts: `localhost.localdomain,localhost`
2) ips: `192.168.1.1,192.168.1.5,2620🔢:1`
hosts: `host.example.com,host,host6.example.com,host6`
It could be argued that if searching for `192.168.1.1` that the `host6`
hostnames should not be returned, but this implementation will return them
since they are related (both ips have the fqdn of host.example.com). It is
unlikely this will matter in the real world.

PR #568 increased the warning levels and c-ares code emitted a bunch of warnings. This PR fixes those warnings and starts transitioning internal data types into more proper forms (e.g. data lengths should be size_t not int). It does, however, have to manually cast back to what the public API needs due to API and ABI compliance (we aren't looking to break integrations, just clean up internals).
Fix By: Brad House (@bradh352)
c-ares was missing a couple of common compiler warnings during building that are widely recognized as a best practice. This PR makes no code changes, only build system changes to increase warning levels.
This PR does cause some new warnings to be emitted, a follow-up PR will address those.

* segment random number generation into own file
* abstract random code to make it more modular so we can have multiple backends
* rand: add support for arc4random_buf() and also direct CARES_RANDOM_FILE reading
* autotools: fix detection of arc4random_buf
* rework initial rc4 seed for PRNG as last fallback
* rc4: more proper implementation, simplified for clarity
* clarifications
* CARES_RANDOM_FILE should always default to /dev/urandom
During cross-compilation, CARES_RANDOM_FILE may not be able to be appropriately
detected, therefore we should always set it to /dev/urandom and allow the
entity requesting compilation override the value. The code does appropriately
fall back if CARES_RANDOM_FILE cannot be opened.
* use set not option
When determining value for CPACK_PACKAGE_ARCHITECTURE, prefer to use
value from CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR before falling back to uname output.
Additionally, if building from a Windows host, emit a fatal error
instead of attempting to call uname.

As per RFC6761 Section 6.3, "localhost" lookups need to be special cased to return loopback addresses, and not forward queries to recursive dns servers.
We first look up via files (/etc/hosts or equivalent), and if that fails, we then attempt a system-specific address enumeration for loopback addresses (currently Windows-only), and finally fallback to ::1 and 127.0.0.1.

Fixes Bug: #399
When cross compiling with yocto's meta-mingw layer, getting a dependency
error.
This is caused by the fact that advapi32 is lower case in mingw builds.
Fix By: Sinan Kaya <sinan.kaya@microsoft.com>
RANDOM_FILE was never defined by cmake, causing RC4 key generation to use the less secure rand() method.
Also, due to clashes with chain-building from other projects (e.g. curl) that may define RANDOM_FILE, this was renamed to CARES_RANDOM_FILE.
This is the proposed change for #396
Fix By: Brad House (@bradh352)
It appears that when building tests, it would hardcode enabling building
of the c-ares static library. This was probably due to Windows limitations
in symbol visibility.
This change will use the static library if it exists for tests, always.
Otherwise, it will only forcibly enable static libraries for tests on
Windows.
Fixes: #380

Originally started by Daniel Stenberg (@bagder) with #123, this patch reorganizes the c-ares source tree to have a more modern layout. It also fixes out of tree builds for autotools, and automatically builds the tests if tests are enabled. All tests are passing which tests each of the supported build systems (autotools, cmake, nmake, mingw gmake). There may be some edge cases that will have to be caught later on for things I'm not aware of.

The rc4 function iterates over a buffer of size buffer_len who's maximum
value is INT_MAX with a counter of type short that is not guaranteed to
have maximum size INT_MAX.
In circumstances where short is narrower than int and where buffer_len
is larger than the maximum value of a short, it may be possible to loop
infinitely as counter will overflow and never be greater than or equal
to buffer_len.
The solution is to make the comparison be between types of equal width.
This commit defines counter as an int.
