cmake: clear package version after `pkg-config` detection

`pkg_check_modules()` seems to leave `<PACKAGE>_VERSION` defined with an
empty value, if the package is not found.

When the package is also not found in the fallback branch,
`find_package_handle_standard_args()` logs and error message. In this
message it includes the bogus empty value as: `(found version "")`:
```
Could NOT find Libssh2 (missing: LIBSSH2_INCLUDE_DIR LIBSSH2_LIBRARY) (found version "")
```
https://github.com/curl/curl/actions/runs/11509727553/job/32040378958?pr=15408#step:31:99

Clear the version number to avoid the confusion:
```
Could NOT find Libssh2 (missing: LIBSSH2_INCLUDE_DIR LIBSSH2_LIBRARY)
```
https://github.com/curl/curl/actions/runs/11510022503/job/32041149129?pr=15408#step:31:99

Seen with CMake v3.30.5.

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.

cmake: add native `pkg-config` detection for mbedTLS, MSH3, Quiche, Rustls, wolfSSL

Also:
- detect and add required system libraries for Rustls on macOS and
non-Windows.
- add Linux CMake jobs for the touched dependencies.
Caveats:
- MSH3 generates a broken `libmsh3.pc`, so needs manual config.
Upstream PR: https://github.com/nibanks/msh3/pull/225
- Rustls `.pc` file missing, so needs manual config.

An internal change worthy of mention is that we are using the lib path
and name information returned by `pkg-config` as-is. Meaning the libname
doesn't include the full path, like it's usual with native cmake
detection. The path comes separately and needs to be rolled separately.
For this we add it to targets via `link_directories()`. We also keep tab
of them in `CURL_LIBDIRS` and use that in `libcurl.pc`. Feature checks
also need to receive these paths. CMake doesn't offer
a `CMAKE_REQUIRED_*` variable for this purpose, only
a `CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS` accepting raw linker flags. Add a macro
to convert a list of paths to linker options to solve it. wolfSSL
requires this for now.

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: 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).
