c6c7ab2b44 event libs: default to building as dynamically loaded plugins
Event lib support as it has been isn't scaling well, at the low level
libevent and libev headers have a namespace conflict so they can't
both be built into the same image, and at the distro level, binding
all the event libs to libwebsockets.so makes a bloaty situation for
packaging, lws will drag in all the event libs every time.

This patch implements the plan discussed here

https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/issues/1980

and refactors the event lib support so they are built into isolated
plugins and bound at runtime according to what the application says
it wants to use.  The event lib plugins can be packaged individually
so that only the needed sets of support are installed (perhaps none
of them if the user code is OK with the default poll() loop).  And
dependent user code can mark the specific event loop plugin package
as required so pieces are added as needed.

The eventlib-foreign example is also refactored to build the selected
lib support isolated.

A readme is added detailing the changes and how to use them.

1a93e73402 fakewsi: replace with smaller substructure
Currently we always reserve a fakewsi per pt so events that don't have a related actual
wsi, like vhost-protocol-init or vhost cert init via protocol callback can make callbacks
that look reasonable to user protocol handler code expecting a valid wsi every time.

This patch splits out stuff that user callbacks often unconditionally expect to be in
a wsi, like context pointer, vhost pointer etc into a substructure, which is composed
into struct lws at the top of it.  Internal references (struct lws is opaque, so there
are only internal references) are all updated to go via the substructre, the compiler
should make that a NOP.

Helpers are added when fakewsi is used and referenced.

If not PLAT_FREERTOS, we continue to provide a full fakewsi in the pt as before,
although the helpers improve consistency by zeroing down the substructure.  There is
a huge amount of user code out there over the last 10 years that did not always have
the minimal examples to follow, some of it does some unexpected things.

If it is PLAT_FREERTOS, that is a newer thing in lws and users have the benefit of
being able to follow the minimal examples' approach.  For PLAT_FREERTOS we don't
reserve the fakewsi in the pt any more, saving around 800 bytes.  The helpers then
create a struct lws_a (the substructure) on the stack, zero it down (but it is only
like 4 pointers) and prepare it with whatever we know like the context.

Then we cast it to a struct lws * and use it in the user protocol handler call.
In this case, the remainder of the struct lws is undefined.  However the amount of
old protocol handlers that might touch things outside of the substructure in
PLAT_FREERTOS is very limited compared to legacy lws user code and the saving is
significant on constrained devices.

User handlers should not be touching everything in a wsi every time anyway, there
are several cases where there is no valid wsi to do the call with.  Dereference of
things outside the substructure should only happen when the callback reason shows
there is a valid wsi bound to the activity (as in all the minimal examples).

dfed547529 glib: stop leaking idle and hrtimer source
This gives a valgrind result for lws-minimal-http-server-event-lib-foreign
that's clean for lws pieces, although glib is always dirty wrt thread local
storage and hashtable.

286cf4357a sul: multiple timer domains
Adapt the pt sul owner list to be an array, and define two different lists,
one that acts like before and is the default for existing users, and another
that has the ability to cooperate with systemwide suspend to restrict the
interval spent suspended so that it will wake in time for the earliest
thing on this wake-suspend sul list.

Clean the api a bit and add lws_sul_cancel() that only needs the sul as the
argument.

Add a flag for client creation info to indicate that this client connection
is important enough that, eg, validity checking it to detect silently dead
connections should go on the wake-suspend sul list.  That flag is exposed in
secure streams policy so it can be added to a streamtype with
"swake_validity": true

Deprecate out the old vhost timer stuff that predates sul.  Add a flag
LWS_WITH_DEPRECATED_THINGS in cmake so users can get it back temporarily
before it will be removed in a v4.2.

Adapt all remaining in-tree users of it to use explicit suls.

b3131fdfdd cmakelist: Augean Stables refactor
Establish a new distributed CMake architecture with CMake code related to
a source directory moving to be in the subdir in its own CMakeLists.txt.
In particular, there's now one in ./lib which calls through to ones
further down the directory tree like ./lib/plat/xxx, ./lib/roles/xxx etc.

This cuts the main CMakelists.txt from 98KB -> 33KB, about a 66% reduction,
and it's much easier to maintain sub-CMakeLists.txt that are in the same
directory as the sources they manage, and conceal all the details that that
level.

Child CMakelists.txt become responsible for:

 - include_directories() definition (this is not supported by CMake
   directly, it passes it back up via PARENT_SCOPE vars in helper
   macros)

 - Addition child CMakeLists.txt inclusion, for example toplevel ->
   role -> role subdir

 - Source file addition to the build

 - Dependent library path resolution... this is now a private thing
   in the child CMakeLists.txt, it just passes back any adaptations
   to include_directories() and the LIB_LIST without filling the
   parent namespace with the details
