Update to reflect the transition from C99 to C11. Remove obsolete
comments and recommendations. Add a bit about transitioning to C
fixed width types.
Related to #17768.
Automated find/replace of wmem_packet_scope() with pinfo->pool in all
files where it didn't cause a build failure.
I also tweaked a few of the docs which got caught up.
Currently our build generates very many warnings if
G_DISABLE_ASSERT is defined.
Add ws_assert() and ws_assert_not_reached() to incrementally
replace existing assertions and then disable them using
WS_DISABLE_ASSERT.
Assertions are disabled with CMake build type Release.
By default the build type is RelWithDebInfo so the current
behaviour of enabling assertions by default is (for now) preserved.
Add some notes to README.Developer.
Since fe94133f0d ws_snprintf()
and ws_vsnprintf() don't actually do anything anymore.
The return value of ws_[v]snprintf was discarded before,
now it too conforms to C99.
Note that we use EditorConfig in the WSDG and README.developer, and that
you should make sure your editor uses it. Recommend 4 space indentation
more strongly. Ping #17253.
Reorder and reword the coding style sections of each document while
we're here.
We started allowing source files to be encoded as UTF-8 in April 2019 in
bd75f5af0a. Update README.developer to match.
README.developer no longer has a "Code style" section, so update the
Developer's Guide to point to the "Portability" section.
Update the minimum version in various documents. Remove some
no-longer-needed code from scripts that call windeployqt.

Convert the contents of the top-level README to Markdown and give it a
.md extension. Most of our documentation is plain text or AsciiDoc, but
the top-level README file in a Git repository is special in that many
online browsers will show the README contents along with the directory
listing and those browsers tend to favor Markdown. This is true of
GitHub (which we're currently mirroring to), Gerrit via its Gitiles
plugin (which we're not yet using but likely will), and other places.
Add "foreign" to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. There is probably a joke to be
made here about the FSF and border walls.

On UN*X, you can get C99-or-later compilers, and we request that in the
autoconf script, so it's really a requirement.
At least as I read
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/34h23df8%28v=vs.100%29.aspx
Visual Studio 2010 (and earlier, going back to VS .NET 2003) supports
the "Use of block-scope variables initialized with nonconstant
expressions", with an example of an aggregate (array) initialization
involving function calls, so it sounds as if it's available on Windows
with any version of VS that we support.
(If I've missed something, it'll presumably show up when something is
built with MSVC, and we can update this at that point.)
So the only thing to avoid is initializing global or static variables
with a value that has to be evaluated at run time (the ability to do
that is probably present in most environments, as I think C++
constructors for variables with static storage duration might have to be
evaluated before main() is called, but I guess few C compilers bother to
use it).
Expand the example in the hopes of avoiding confusion between "static
storage duration" (which something declared "static" has, but which
anything declared with file scope, whether declared "static" or not,
also has) and "static storage duration and internal linkage", which is
what the "static" keyword specifies.

Removed all guards for HAVE_LIBGCRYPT, change autotools and CMake to
error out if it is not available. Update release notes, developer
documentation and README with the new status. Clarify relation with
GnuTLS in macosx-setup.sh. Install Libgcrypt via brew script.
Motivation for this change is that many dissectors depend on Libgcrypt
and having it optional increases the maintenance burden (there have been
several compile issues in the past due to the optional status).
Furthermore, wsutil has crypto code that can be replaced by Libgcrypt.

Remove variadic macros restriction (c99, c++11 feature) from
README.developer. GCC, Clang, MSVC 2005 all support it.
Enable -Wno-variadic-macros in configure.ac and CMakeLists.txt when
-Wpedantic is enabled (which would enable -Wvariadic-macros).
For all files matching 'define\s*\w+[0-9]\(', replace "FOO[0-9]" by
"FOO" and adjust the macro definition accordingly. The nbap dissector
was regenerated after adjusting its template and .cnf file. The
generated code is the same since all files disabled the debug macros.
