cmake: tidy up more in Find modules

- document input variables (including deprecated ones.)
- comment cleanups.
- FindWolfSSL: drop stray `QUIET` from `pkg_check_modules()`.
(`QUIET` may be re-added for all modules in the future.)

cmake: revert to `pkg_check_modules()`

Prefer `pkg_check_modules()` over `pkg_search_module()`.

`pkg_check_modules()` logs a line when there is a hit, and also warnings
if a sub-dependency is missing. In `QUIET` mode, both are silent.

The extra info is useful to see if a detection happened via
`pkg-config`.

Keep `pkg_search_module()` in `FindGSS`. We pass two dependencies
there and we want to keep stopping on the first one.

cmake: tidy up Find modules

Smoothen out minor differences between Find modules.

- brotli, nghttp2: drop redundant `FOUND_VAR` specifiers from
`find_package_handle_standard_args()` calls.
This function sets both `<NAME_UPPER>_FOUND` and `<NAME>_FOUND`
by default.

- brotli: set result vars only when found.

- brotli: add missing `mark_as_advanced()` call.

- brotli: delete custom fail message.

- mbedtls, bearssl: use `REQUIRED_VARS` instead of `DEFAULT_MSG`.

- msh3, quiche: set `<NAME>_VERSION` (via pkg-config).

- wolfssl: also use `PC_WOLFSSL_INCLUDEDIR`, `PC_WOLFSSL_LIBDIR`
as hints.

- libpsl, libssh2, zstd: clear temporary variables used for version
detection.

- gss, msh3, nghttp2, nghttp3, ngtcp2, quiche, zstd: fix to apply
`mark_as_advanced()` to internal variables only.

cmake: add `CURL_USE_PKGCONFIG` option

Add option to control whether to use `pkg-config` to detect
dependencies. Curl's CMake uses `pkg-config` by default for all targets
except for MSVC without vcpkg.

With the CMake option `-DCURL_USE_PKGCONFIG=ON` you can override it to
use `pkg-config` always.

If `pkg-config` is causing issues, e.g. in cross-builds or other cases,
`-DCURL_USE_PKGCONFIG=OFF` disables all use of `pkg-config`.

Also add it to `curl-config.cmake`. Not yet used, but will be once curl
starts referencing any curl-specific `Find*` module from this public
script.

cmake: allow `pkg-config` in more envs

Before this patch, `pkg-config` was used for `UNIX` builds only (with
a few exceptions like wolfSSL, libssh, gsasl, libuv). This patch extends
`pkg-config` use to all envs except: `MSVC` without vcpkg. Meaning MSVC
with vcpkg will now use it. Also mingw on Windows.

Also apply the new condition to options where `pkg-config` was used
unconditionally (= for all targets). These are:
`-DCURL_USE_WOLFSSL=ON`, `-DCURL_USE_LIBSSH=ON`,
`-DCURL_USE_GSASL=ON` and `-DCURL_USE_LIBUV=ON`

This patch may still cause regressions for cross-builds (e.g. mingw
cross-build from Unix) and potentially other cases. If that happens, we
recommend using some of these methods to explicitly disable `pkg-config`
when using CMake:
- CMake option: `-DPKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=`
(or `-DPKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=nonexistent` or similar)
This is similar to the (curl-specific) `PKG_CONFIG` env for autotools.
- export env: `PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=`
(or `PKG_CONFIG_PATH`, `PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR`,
or the CMake-specific `PKG_CONFIG`)

We may improve control over this in a future patch, also allowing opting
in MSVC (without vcpkg).

CMake: add HTTP/3 support (ngtcp2+nghttp3, quiche)

Add three new CMake Find modules (using the curl license, but I grant
others the right to apply the CMake BSD license instead).

This CMake config is simpler than the autotools one because it assumes
ngtcp2 and nghttp3 to be used together. Another difference is that this
CMake config checks whether QUIC is actually supported by the TLS
library (patched OpenSSL or boringssl) since this can be a common
configuration mistake that could result in build errors later.

Unlike autotools, CMake does not warn you that the features are
experimental. The user is supposed to already know that and read the
documentation. It requires a very special build environment anyway.

Tested with ngtcp2+OpenSSL+nghttp3 and quiche+boringssl, both built from
current git master. Use `LD_DEBUG=files src/curl |& grep need` to figure
out which features (libldap-2.4, libssh2) to disable due to conflicts
with boringssl.
