Add -qs quiet success option. It omits the two log lines for tests
that run successfully. It makes logs ~3500 lines shorter in most cases.

Apply this option to GHA/non-native CI jobs.

Example runs:

Closes #14185

On sluggish systems (and/or huge logs), this patch makes it quicker to scroll down to the end of the test log (and back to the top of the page), for jobs with tests.
On the other hand it makes the unfolded test details load slower while scrolling (it loads while scrolling, in my browser at least).
Finding a specific test of interest by number continues to work well by using the search field.

If nobody is against, I'd merge this. If it cause issues or we don't like it, we can revert or refine it.

I'm not a big fan of this. Personally, the test results are usually the only thing I go to the logs to see and having them hidden by default is annoying. They do appear when searching for a specific test in the fold, which is nice, but it takes a while during which time there's no feedback that anything is happening. I'm also not sure what the benefit is of having the test results hidden. They're usually towards the end of a huge compile log, so only people scrolling through those would reach the fold and I'm guessing there aren't many people doing that. Those who want to get to the test summary quickly don't benefit because rather than scrolling they'll just hit the End button to get there immediately. It was interesting to see what GitHub does with them, but I don't think it's worth implementing. With the possible exception of the "Run Time Stats" section which is big and unwieldy (and a section I seldom look at personally :-) and does get in the way between the test results and the summary.

Also, the "Run Time Stats" section shows up even if there are no run time stats available, which is misleading.

Thanks for your feedback!

For failing jobs, GitHub automatically unfolds the 'run' step and moves to its end, and that being slow, it makes navigating the page awkward. E.g. when trying to look into a preceding step. This became an issue when repeating this cycle many-many times a day.

The actual failures are indeed interesting, but I almost always have to search for them and often they are in the middle of the output, intermixed with the successful ones (~3500 lines).

Would it be possible to collapse / hide the successful lines (two lines per test) and only include the failing ones in the output?

(As a slight aside it'd also help (e.g. with diffing) if tests results came out sorted by test number.)

This PR began as an attempt to drop GCC support, after repeated reports
on fallouts when trying to use it on macOS.

Then it transformed into a 3-week project turning up the issues causing
the fallouts, ending up including llvm and all available Xcode / macOS
SDK, macOS runner image, build tools and compiler vendors and versions.
Accumulating 400 sub-commits.

I developed and tested all fixes under this PR, then merged them as
separate patches.

This PR retained CI jobs updates, extensively reworking and extending
them: [1]

At first it seemed GCC and the Apple SDK is "naturally" growing more
incompatible, as Apple added further non-standard features to their
headers. This is partly true, but reality is more complicated.

Besides some issues local to curl, there were bugs in Apple SDK
headers, Homebrew GCC builds, feature missing in the old llvm version
pre-installed on GitHub CI runner images, and subtle incompatibilities
between GCC and llvm/clang when handling language extensions.

Resulting compiler errors seldom pointed to a useful direction, and
internet search was silent about these issues too. Thus, I had to peel
them off layer by layer, using trial and error, and by recognizing
patterns of failures accross 150-200 builds combinations. Exposing
configure logs, and curl_config.h in the CI logs helped too.

1. GCC header compatibility layer ("hack" as GCC calls it)

The toughest issue is GCC's built-in compatibility layer:
  https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/tree/master/fixincludes

This patch layer is further patched by a "Darwin compatibility" project
applied on top by Homebrew GCC via:
  https://github.com/iains/gcc-12-branch
  https://github.com/iains/gcc-13-branch
  https://github.com/iains/gcc-14-branch

The hack layer is designed in a way that breaks more builds than it
fixes, esp. in context of GHA runners. The idea is to build GCC
specifically for the SDK for the target macOS version. The problem with
this approach is that the Xcode + SDK installed on the local/CI machine
often does not match with the SDK used on while building GCC on
Homebrew's build machines. In these cases the GCC compatibility layer
turns into an "uncompatibility" layer and consistently breaks builds.
curl cannot offer a fix for this, because the solution (I found) is to
patch the toolchain on the local machine. I implemented this for our CI
builds and curl-for-win. In other case the user must do this patching
manually, or choose a compatible GCC + Xcode/SDK combination.

An upstream fix doesn't seem trivial either, because the issue is
ingrained in the compatibility layer's design. Offering an `-fapplesdk`
(or recognizing `-target`) option and/or fixing them within the compiler
would seem like a more robust option, and also how mainline llvm solves
this.

Here's a table summarizing the GCC + SDK combinations and curl build
failures: [2]

2. Homebrew GCC's `availability` extension

A recent minor Homebrew GCC upgrade caused major breakage. The "Darwin
compatibility" patch applied to GCC implemented the `availability`
compiler attribute in GCC. Apple SDK detected this and enabled using
them, but as it turns out GCC accepts compiler attributes with slightly
different rules than llvm/clang, and how the Apple SDK uses them,
breaking builds.

Affected Homebrew GCC versions are: 12.4.0, 13.3.0 and 14.1.0.

Possibly tracked here: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108796
More info: llvm/llvm-project#81767

That applied to Homebrew GCC (12.4.0):

e91fcba #14155 macos: undo `availability` macro enabled by Homebrew gcc

3. Proprietary Apple SDK macros

Apple SDK expects certain macros predefined by the compiler. Missing
them may causes odd issues. Mainline llvm is keeping up with Apple
clang, but it needs a fresh version, while the one installed on GitHub
runners is old (v15). I patched these in `lib/curl_setup.h`.

baa3270 #14134 build: fix llvm 16 or older + Xcode 15 or newer, and gcc

4. Apple SDK header bug

Without certain predefined macros, SDK headers can take a codepath where
it mis-defines its own `TARGET_OS_OSX` macro, which make it break its
own headers later. I patched it in `lib/curl_setup.h`.

ff784af #14159 build: fix llvm 17 and older + macOS SDK 14.4 and newer

5. `TargetConditionals.h` requires `sys/types.h`

Fixed in curl. It caused feature-detection failurs with autotools, and
could break builds in certain configurations.

e1f6192 #14130 configure: fix `SystemConfiguration` detection

6. Differences between autotools and CMake compiler options

Fixed it by syncing compiler warning options.

59cadac #14128 build: sync warning options between autotools, cmake & compilers

7. Differences between autotools and CMake dependency detection

Fixed it by improving detection of libidn2, with some more fixes
pending for the next feature window.

f43adc2 #14137 cmake: detect `libidn2` also via `pkg-config`
Ref: #14136 cmake: detect `nghttp2` via `pkg-config`, enable by default

8. libidn2 detection bug with CMake

Fixed the root cause and also the trigger in the CI config.

764fbab #14175 cmake: fix builds with detected libidn2 lib but undetected header

9. Suppressed compiler warnings inside Apple-specific curl code

Fixed these warnings, which allowed to stop silencing them.

b05dc7e #14122 sectransp: fix `HAVE_BUILTIN_AVAILABLE` checks to not emit warnings
5fa534b #14162 sectransp: fix clang compiler warnings, stop silencing them

10. CMake mis-detecting a CA bundle path on macOS

d2ef625 #14182 cmake: sync CA bundle/path detection with autotools

11. Failure to build tests with LibreSSL or wolfSSL with CMake

Fixed by dropping unnecessary includes, makign test builds dependent
on dependency headers.

3765d75 #14172 cmake: fix building `unit1600` due to missing `ssl/openssl.h`

12. curl tests with CMake

curl's CMake was missing bits for running the C preprocessor accurately.
It made tests 1119 and 1167 fail. I implemented the missing bits.

efc2c51 #14124 tests: include current directory when running test Perl commands
c09db8b #14129 cmake: create `configurehelp.pm` like autotools does
67cc1e3 #14125 test1119: adapt for `.md` input

13. GCC missing `__builtin_available()` support

curl source code assumes this is available to enable certain codepaths.
It's also intermixed with monotonic timer support.

14. Monotonic timer support with GCC

Detected by GCC, while it probably shouldn't be. llvm/clang detects it
depending on target OS version. I've been playing with this, but so far
without a conclusion or fix.

15. Runtime/test failures with GCC

I couldn't find the reason for most of this. A bunch of RTSP tests fail
with GCC. SecureTransport + HTTP/2 is failing a bunch of tests. With
OpenSSL it fails two of those. SecureTransport builds also fail one DoH
test.

16. Runtime/test failure in llvm/clang

AppleIDN support received a fix with two more remaining.

fd02508 #14179 #14176 IDN: fix ß with AppleIDN

17. Other issues found and fixed while working on this:

Summary:

In general GCC doesn't seem to be a good fit with curl and macOS for
now. These "lucky" combinations (GitHub Actions runner) will build out
of the box now: macos-14 + Xcode 15.0.1 + gcc-11, gcc-12, gcc-14. The
rest builds with the ugly workaround in place, but all this still leaves
some runtime issues.

More info and links in the commit messages and source code.

[1]: This PR:
- add info about target OS version requirements per feature, with OS
  names and release years.
- stop using `-Wno-deprecated-declarations` to suppress warnings.
- use `LDFLAGS=-w` to suppress 'object file was built for newer macOS
  version than being linked' warnings.
  (there were tens of thousands of them in some jobs)
- allow overriding Xcode version in all jobs.
- improve job names.
- abbreviate CMake as CM, autotools as AM for more compact job names.
- shorten job names by using `!` instead of `no-` and `non-`.
- bump parellel tests to 10 (from 5).
- drop using `--enable-maintainer-mode` `./configure` option.
- add gcc-12 no-ssl, autotools job with tests, ignore failing test
  results. (It's not yet clear why gcc-12 builds have different runtime
  results than clang/llvm ones.)
- add comments with OS names and release years next to version numbers,
  e.g. 10.15  # Catalina (2019)
- fix broken gcc-12 SecureTransport build.
- show compiler, Xcode, SDK, gcc hack SDK versions, Homebrew
  preinstalled packages and C compiler predefined macros for each job.
  Useful for debugging all the strange problems these builds might have.
- merge brew bundle and install steps.
- move step names to the top.
- dump configure log for both cmake and autotools also for successful
  builds. Useful for debugging.
- dump curl_config.h in short (sorted #defines) and full form.
- add support for the mainline llvm compiler.
- set sysroot for gcc and llvm.
- add timeout for cmake jobs.
- add new job matrix: combinations
  It supports building all possible compiler, runner image, Xcode/SDK
  combinations, with cmake and autotools, target OS versions and with or
  without SecureTransport. It's quick. GHA limits the maximum number of
  matrix jobs at 256.
  I used this as a test-rig to fix the macOS build fallouts with gcc and
  llvm.
  I settled with 16 jobs, trying to maximize fallout coverage.
- implement hack to make Homebrew gcc work with all available SDKs.
- add handy mini-table about Xcode / SDK versions, OS names, years for
  each GHA images, with the defaults.
- add tests for cmake jobs.
- make cmake config hack to link GnuTLS less intrusive.
- stop ignoring test 1452, seems fine now.
- fix to enable libpsl in autotools builds.
- enable libpsl in cmake builds.
- add an llvm job with tests (both autotools and cmake).
- delete similar macOS jobs from Circle CI. GHA is now arm64 too.

Committed a second take to improve this:

Instead of folding all test run details into a group, I added an option (-qs) to not emit output for tests finishing successfully. It reduces logs without adding the many, less interesting, lines in the first place, keeping all failures there, as before. Since only the failures are logged, it's easier to scroll through them and find the details, without resorting to search in typical scenarios with a couple of failures.

Also kept the fold for the timing results.

It looks like this in action:
no failure: https://github.com/curl/curl/actions/runs/10021979612
with failure: https://github.com/curl/curl/actions/runs/10021785141

I cannot confirm that scrolling isn't a problem. In my experience it very much is. Taking quite a long time to load, and then the rest. Most jobs have a separate step for running tests (meaning the other long ones don't play a role by default), and it is excessively long, and auto-opened, auto-scrolled to the end, if there is a failure. Finding the actual essence is a problem, in my experience.

I've proposed two solutions, if none of them is acceptable for CI use, can you propose something that can make these logs usable in a browser?

For Test Clutch, can we collect the necessary details in a file, and dump it in a separate step, like it's done with configure.log in the macos and windows workflows? Such separate step would be unfoldable manually in the browser, and seen as part of the raw log by Test Clutch.

I guess I don't know what the problem is you're trying to solve with this PR. I personally haven't seen major issues with loading or scrolling and I don't know what you're seeing. Can you give more details and some example links?

Dumping the test results twice, once in summary and once in full, would confuse Test Clutch as well as many developers, I suspect. If you have to do something, folding seems the least disruptive of the options.

While trying to make sense out of the macOS failures, I was opening logs by the hundreds.
Each time, the page opens, a loading begins, takes quite a bit of time compared to other
UI interactions, then auto-scrolls to the end, only to not see the end of the log with the
summary. But then I'd like see what was the actual issue was. Since the log for the step is
long and the errors are scattered anywhere within the log, I search. I need to remember the
number, and remember the correct pattern that hits the actual entry. Even that is clumsy
because it searched after key-press, so any typo takes seconds to correct. Then repeats
this for any other error while scrolling between the end of the log and the error itself via
search.

If I want to correlate something with a previous step, navigation becomes even more fun
because now you have to manually scroll to the position when the long test log starts and
the previous, folded or unfolded step begins.

If I'd like to reach the top menu / buttons (happens frequently), there is long scroll back
to the top too.

My machine isn't new, but the internet connection is fast, and I otherwise have no perf
issues in the browser.

Setting aside this particular bug hunt, the pattern is the same in day-to-day cases where
I'd just like to see details for the errors that happened.

As you mentioned, verbose build logs are also long, but in that case the error is always
at (or starts at) the bottom, so auto-scroll takes you right where the important bits begin.

In case of test logs, I surmise the 3500 lines are just not the information most people
are looking for, and IMO detracts from the important bits in the summary and the failure
details. It seems like a useful way to make logs more succinct.

Also keeping in mind that we'll only have more tests and more lines, and more scrolling
and searching in the growing hackstack.

I understand Test Clutch needs this (I didn't know firsthand, sorry). My latest proposed
solution wouldn't include this information twice. It would include it after the summary,
instead of before. It would basically split the log into successul and failing ones, put the
successful output into a separate step (for Test Clutch and anyone explicitly looking
for it in the browser to see), and keep the failures in the current section without the success
line-pairs.

IMO making the build log more "digestible" by hiding the less interesting parts like
(such as the success lines) from the default CI screen, could help people hunting
for problems around there.

Let me know if something isn't clear. It would be easier to show I guess.
