Closes#11986
We remove support for building curl with gskit.
- This is a niche TLS library, only running on some IBM systems
- no regular curl contributors use this backend
- no CI builds use or verify this backend
- gskit, or the curl adaption for it, lacks many modern TLS features
making it an inferior solution
- build breakages in this code take weeks or more to get detected
- fixing gskit code is mostly done "flying blind"
This removal has been advertized in DEPRECATED in Jan 2, 2023 and it has
been mentioned on the curl-library mailing list.
It could be brought back, this is not a ban. Given proper effort and
will, gskit support is welcome back into the curl TLS backend family.

* Configure changes to detect AWS-LC
* CMakeLists.txt changes to detect AWS-LC
* Compile-time branches needed to support AWS-LC
* Correctly set OSSL_VERSION and report AWS-LC release number
* GitHub Actions script to build with autoconf and cmake against AWS-LC
AWS-LC is a BoringSSL/OpenSSL derivative

This is already how curl is documented to behave in Everything curl, but
in actuality only short POSTs skip this. This should knock 30 seconds
off a full run of the test suite since the 100-continue timeout will no
longer be hit.
Closes#10740
curl is a tool that support many different things, and it doesn't
really seem like our job to tell other what to use (as they might
not have much say in the matter even). Also tidy up wording.

- Windows command prompt doesn't use literal quoting via single quotes.
- Windows command prompt inner double quotes are escaped with a
backslash.
- Windows powershell does use single quotes but curl is not a powershell
script so the arguments may not be passed on correctly.
- Windows powershell inner double quotes seems can be passed to curl if
the outer quotes are double quotes and an escape of backslash-backtick
is used.
Command prompt example:
~~~
getargs -v -d "\"a\""
argv[0]: getargs
argv[1]: -v
argv[2]: -d
argv[3]: "a"

Mostly based on recent language decisions from "everything curl":
- remove contractions (isn't => is not)
- *an* HTTP (consistency)
- runtime (no hyphen)
- backend (no hyphen)
- URL is uppercase

Mesalink has ceased development. We can no longer encourage use of it.
It seems to be continued under the name TabbySSL, but no attempts have
(yet) been to make curl support it.

According to wikipedia:
While "web site" was the original spelling, this variant has become
rarely used, and "website" has become the standard spelling

As has been outlined in the DEPRECATE.md document, the axTLS code has
been disabled for 6 months and is hereby removed.
Use a better supported TLS library!
