Lazy load libcurl, allowing for an SSL/TLS backend-specific libcurl (#4410)

As per
#4350 (comment),
the major block for upgrading Git for Windows' OpenSSL from v1.1 to v3
is the tricky part where such an upgrade would break `git fetch`/`git
clone` and `git push` because the libcurl depends on the OpenSSL DLL,
and the major version bump will _change_ the file name of said DLL.

To overcome that, the plan is to build libcurl flavors for each
supported SSL/TLS backend, aligning with the way MSYS2 builds libcurl,
then switch Git for Windows' SDK to the Secure Channel-flavored libcurl,
and teach Git to look for the specific flavor of libcurl corresponding
to the `http.sslBackend` setting (if that was configured).

Here is the PR to teach Git that trick.
