Curl_getaddrinfo_ex() gets defined with HAVE_GETADDRINFO set. But, hostip4.c used it with HAVE_GETADDRINFO_THREADSAFE set alone. It meant a build with the latter, but without the former flag could result in calling this function but not defining it, and failing to link.

Patch this by adding an extra check for HAVE_GETATTRINFO around the call.

Before this patch, build systems prevented this condition. Now they don't need to, so delete the build-system-specific logic from CMake.

Follow-up to 67d8862

Closes #xxxx

`Curl_getaddrinfo_ex()` gets _defined_ with `HAVE_GETADDRINFO` set.
But, `hostip4.c` _used_ it with `HAVE_GETADDRINFO_THREADSAFE` set alone.

result in calling this function but not defining it, and failing to
link.

Patch this by adding an extra check for `HAVE_GETATTRINFO` around

wouldn't it make sense to leave this

It wouldn't hurt, but why guard against this twice?

Also without it, our CI wouldn't be really verifying this PR.

I don't see where else it is checked. What I am saying is it wouldn't make sense that HAVE_GETADDRINFO_THREADSAFE is defined when not HAVE_GETADDRINFO.

The root problem was that hostip4.c assumed that if HAVE_GETADDRINFO_THREADSAFE was set, also HAVE_GETADDRINFO was set. This was not always true, so I added this condition to CMake. (autotools was setting them in pair already). This still didn't prevent a manual/accidental misconfiguration. Hence this PR, where I address the root cause in hostip4.c, making sure to check that both are set, there. This also makes the manual CMake condition redundant.

[ You may ask, how could CMake set HAVE_GETADDRINFO_THREADSAFE if there was no getaddrinfo() present. The reason for that is that HAVE_GETADDRINFO_THREADSAFE is force-set to 1 on Windows, while the latter is properly auto-detected! ]

Ok. IMO it wouldn't hurt to leave it there.

@jay: Rephrasing the Windows logic as this:

if(WIN32)
  set(HAVE_GETADDRINFO_THREADSAFE ${HAVE_GETADDRINFO})
endif()

would IMO express our intent much cleaner and self contained in these three lines, with identical results. It would also allow dropping the related line from WindowsCache.cmake.

Meaning: When we have getaddrinfo(), it is always threadsafe (on Windows).

What do you think?

Works for me

Simplify 67d8862, by setting
`HAVE_GETADDRINFO_THREADSAFE` to the detection result of
`HAVE_GETADDRINFO` on Windows. This expresses this intent clearer than
the previous patch and keeps this logic in a single block of code:

On Windows when we have `getaddrinfo()` it is always threadsafe.
