Catch2 compatibility means the API tests are written in: the macros, such
as TEST_CASE and REQUIRE, and the Catch:: namespace. It does not mean
Catch2's build names or header paths. find_package(Catch2) found Catch3,
and a project using both frameworks met two packages, two sets of targets,
two Catch.cmake modules and two catch2/ header trees with the same names.

Build names:
- CMake: project and package Catch3, targets Catch3::Catch3 and
  Catch3::Catch3WithMain, libraries Catch3 and Catch3Main, options
  CATCH3_*, lib/cmake/Catch3 with Catch3Config, and pkg-config catch3 and
  catch3-with-main. The version is Catch3's, 0.3.0, compatible within a
  minor version.
- The CMake scripts are Catch3.cmake (catch3_discover_tests),
  Catch3AddTests.cmake and Catch3ShardTests.cmake
  (catch3_add_sharded_tests); the helpers they define at ctest time have a
  catch3_ prefix. ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake, deprecated upstream, is gone.
- Bazel //:catch3 and //:catch3_main, Meson catch3 and catch3-with-main
  (with override_dependency), Xmake catch3 and catch3_main, Premake Catch3
  and Catch3WithMain. Visual Studio projects get GUIDs of their own.
- The Progmasoft::Catch3 target and package are gone: property testing
  and snapshots are part of Catch3::Catch3. Their sources now build with
  the library's warning flags, so property failures are built field by
  field (no missing initializers) and the default property name is a
  thread-local pointer to the name its scope owns (no global destructor).

Headers: the engine moved from src/catch2 to src/Progmasoft/Catch3 with
Progmasoft names, so &lt;catch2/catch_test_macros.hpp&gt; is
&lt;Progmasoft/Catch3/TestMacros.hpp&gt;, &lt;catch2/matchers/catch_matchers_string.hpp&gt;
is &lt;Progmasoft/Catch3/Matchers/String.hpp&gt;, and interface headers are named
after their interface, such as Interfaces/IConfig.hpp. Include guards
became #pragma once. The installed headers go to include/Progmasoft.
src/Progmasoft/Context.cpp is StrategyContext.cpp, so no two sources share
a file name.

tools/scripts/upstreamFiles.txt lists the files that come from Catch2.
The license check expects BSL-1.0 on them and Progmasoft's header on the
rest of src/Progmasoft; the convenience-header check, the amalgamation
script and the surrogate tests take the engine's headers from it. The
amalgamated files are regenerated. The header-guard workflow checks for
#pragma once instead of checkguard.

Documents, the README and the release notes describe the new names.

<title>Fix disengage failure logs for FatalConditionHandlerGuard</title>

FatalConditionHandlerGuard is used within RunContext::invokeActiveTestCase().
The intent of this guard is to avoid binary crash without failed test being
reported.
Still in case FatalConditionHandlerGuard destructor being called during stack
unwinding AND finds unexpected top-level filter for SEH unhandled exception,
the binary may still crash. As result of such crash the original exception
details are being hidden.

As the Catch2 provides only `CATCH_CATCH_ANON` macro, with no access to
exception details by design, looks like the best way to handle issue is to:
 - state requirements explicitly by `noexcept` specifier
 - use `Catch::cerr()` to print out possible issue notification

<title>Significantly refactor fatal error handling</title>

Because new glibc has changed `MINSIGSTKSZ` to be a syscall instead
of being constant, the signal posix handling needed changes, as it
used the value in constexpr context, for deciding size of an array.
It would be simple to fix it by having the handler determine the
signal handling stack size and allocate the memory every time the
handler is being installed, but that would add another allocation
and a syscall every time a test case is entered.

Instead, I split apart the idea of preparing fatal error handlers,
and engaging them, so that the memory can be allocated only once
and still be guarded by RAII.

Also turns out that Catch2's use of `MINSIGSTKSZ` was wrong, and
we should've been using `SIGSTKSZ` the whole time, which we use now.

Closes #2178
