Turns out the cause of CodeQL hangs (or probably just extreme long compile) is the header `curl/typecheck-gcc.h`. By accident I noticed that the preprocessed output of libtests.c is 75 MB (megabytes). This is much higher than the amounf of source code hinted, also compared to e.g. units.c or other build targets. The reason for the extreme size is each easy option call pulling in the large checker logic defined in this header. By compiling with `-DCURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECK`, preprocessed output drops to 2.2 MB (34x), and the libtests target builds without issues. Also build all tests and examples with the Linux HTTP/3 config, covering 3 more files. With these, CodeQL C coverage is 893 out of 930 (96%) (was: 645 69%) Follow-up to 71fc11e #18695 Follow-up to a333fd4 #18557 Follow-up to b4922b1 #18564 Closes vszakats#11 Closes #19632
