http: when loading libcurl lazily, allow for multiple SSL backends

The previous commits introduced a compile-time option to load libcurl
lazily, but it uses the hard-coded name "libcurl-4.dll" (or equivalent
on platforms other than Windows).

To allow for installing multiple libcurl flavors side by side, where
each supports one specific SSL/TLS backend, let's first look whether
`libcurl-<backend>-4.dll` exists, and only use `libcurl-4.dll` as a fall
back.

That will allow us to ship with a libcurl by default that only supports
the Secure Channel backend for the `https://` protocol. This libcurl
won't suffer from any dependency problem when upgrading OpenSSL to a new
major version (which will change the DLL name, and hence break every
program and library that depends on it).

This is crucial because Git for Windows relies on libcurl to keep
working when building and deploying a new OpenSSL package because that
library is used by `git fetch` and `git clone`.

Note that this feature is by no means specific to Windows. On Ubuntu,
for example, a `git` built using `LAZY_LOAD_LIBCURL` will use
`libcurl.so.4` for `http.sslbackend=openssl` and `libcurl-gnutls.so.4`
for `http.sslbackend=gnutls`.
