Usage: - autotools: `--disable-typecheck` (or `--enable-typecheck` (default)) - cmake: `-DCURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECK=ON`. To disable `curl_easy_setopt()`/`curl_easy_getinfo()` type checking with supported (new) gcc and clang compilers. It is useful to improve build performance for the `tests/libtest` target. In particular the CodeQL analyzer may take above an hour to compile with type checking enabled, and disabling it brings it down to seconds. On local machines it may also cut build times in half when build testdeps, depending on platform and compiler. Other than these cases, we recommend leaving type checking enabled. Ref: fdacf34 curl#19632 Also: - GHA/codeql: use it. - test1165: check in `include/curl`. - lib1912: delete stray todo comment. - spelling and comment nits. Closes curl#19637

- cmake: automatically disable typecheck when running clang-tidy, to avoid possible interference, and to improve performance. - INSTALL-CMAKE: document both this, and unity=off for clang-tidy. - GHA/linux: disable for some static analyzers CI jobs to avoid possible interference. - GHA/linux: disable in Fil-C job to improve build performance. Follow-up to 9e6f1c5 #19637 Follow-up to fd2ca23 #17955 Closes #19941

To make it apply to examples. This in turn makes analyzers run quicker and with fewer false positives. It's a special disable option, having its effect via `curl/curl.h`. Bug: #20649 (comment) Follow-up to 9e6f1c5 #19637 Closes #20650
