Max Lv 384810efce C++20 port 2/14: compile the leaf modules as C++ (#3066)
* Make headers and leaf modules compile as C++

Wrap the declarations of every project header in extern "C" (after the
system includes, which must keep C++ linkage), so converted modules and
the remaining C files agree on linkage.

In the leaf modules, cast allocator and memchr results explicitly,
rename identifiers called new, replace the getpwnam_r VLA with the
fixed 16 KiB buffer the loop already capped itself at, and make the
rlimit initialiser conversion explicit. All of this is still valid C.

* Compile the leaf modules as C++

Rename base64, json, ipset, process, ppbloom, rule, ssurl and cache from
.c to .cpp without touching their contents, and update the CMake source
lists, debian/copyright and the docs.

Ported code keeps -Wall; -Wextra is now opt-in through
ss_strict_warnings() for code written as C++ (the core tests).
check_no_heap.py gains a ratchet baseline for the converted modules,
which still allocate the way the C code did. A new check_cxx_runtime
test verifies with nm that the programs and libshadowsocks-c.a still
need no C++ runtime library, so C consumers are unaffected.

* Fix the Windows branches of process.cpp for C++

Cast allocator results and the thread argument explicitly and
value-initialise JOBOBJECT_EXTENDED_LIMIT_INFORMATION with {}. Found by
the zig x86_64-windows-gnu cross build.

* Keep clang-tidy clean for the converted modules

Once the C headers are included from C++ translation units,
bugprone-dynamic-static-initializers reports each extern variable
declaration in them; none is defined in a header, so disable the check.
Mark the two bounded memchr searches in ssurl.cpp, which
bugprone-not-null-terminated-result misreads as string copies.

* check_cxx_runtime: ignore glibc symbol versions

nm on glibc prints __cxa_atexit@GLIBC_2.2.5, which the allowlist for the
libc-provided __cxa_atexit/__cxa_finalize did not match.

* Keep GCC's C++-only warnings off for modules converted from C

GCC's C++ -Wall includes -Wsign-compare and -Wclass-memaccess, which C's
-Wall does not, so the converted modules failed -Werror on GCC (Linux,
UCRT64) although nothing in them changed. They keep the warning set they
were written against; code under ss_strict_warnings() re-enables both.
