All symbols curl defines and provides in public include files/headers should be prefixed by curl or libcurl to minimize the risk of them colliding with other libraries' or applications' symbols.

This is mostly done already with a few exceptions (WIN32, CINIT, CFINIT and some of the related defines around the CINIT macro dance). This should be fixed and we should introduce a test that verifies that we maintain this situation going forward.
