GHA/windows: avoid curl.exe libtool wrapper

Avoid the `curl.exe` wrapper binary created by libtool, and run the real
`curl.exe` directly for tests and version information.

This solution was used in Azure jobs. I missed it when migrating jobs
to GHA.

Applies to tests run in the `mingw, AM x86_64 c-ares U` job, which has
seen unexplained flakiness.

When the package is also not found in the fallback branch,

message it includes the bogus empty value as: `(found version "")`:

cmake: document `-D` and env build options

Extend `INSTALL-CMAKE` document with the list of available options,
a short description and default values.

The list may not be 100% complete.

There are no component boundaries in CMake, so the line is blurry
between curl options, CMake options, CMake Find modules options.
I included certain CMake options that seemed useful, and/or have
dedicated use withing curl's CMake source. But, all CMake built-in
options are usable, as documented upstream in CMake.

The naming of the options has a heritage and the inconsistencies with
it, including a lack of clear namespace. This may be subject to future
updates, also after figuring out which name has special meaning within
CMake and/or CMake projects out of unwritten convention or something
more tangible.

CMake allows to initialize any internal variable via `-D`. This may be
useful to pre-initialize/override feature check results. The list
doesn't contain these, and they remain officially undocumented.

Also:
- make adjustments to keep the spellchecker happy.
- retrofit description changes to the cmake sources.
- stop documenting deprecated `Find*` variables.
