build: add pytest targets

It enables running pytests in cmake jobs, regardless of underlying build
tool choice (= makes it work with ninja.)

Also:

- drop pytest logic launching `make` and exiting in case of failure.
Maybe there is a better way and keep this functionality somehow, bind
it to a command-line option? make it fail softly?

- GHA/linux: invoke pytest via the build, not directly.

- autotools: add missing dummy runtests targets when cross-compiling.

build: `buildinfo.txt` improvements

- cmake: drop `configure.os`.
This also includes OS version, but thus far it's not important enough
to include it.
- autotools: drop redundant, autotools-only `{target|host}.vendor`.
(it's part of the triplet in `{target|host}`.)
- swap order to `*.cpu` -> `*.os` to match triplet-order.
- cmake: drop redundant `target`.
It's manually filled and only in a (so far) few CI jobs. Let's revisit
when this becomes useful.
- move `buildinfo.txt` to build root.
- dist: add `buildinfo.txt` to `DISTCLEANFILES`.
- autotools: detect human readable compiler version.
- autotools: replace `XXYY` `compiler.version` with "X.Y"-style.
(also to match cmake.)
- autotools: use distinct `compiler_id` for Apple clang: `APPLECLANG`.
To match cmake and also because the the "X.Y"-style version number
is the Apple version, while `XXYY` was a value roughly translated to
mainline llvm/clang version.
- show buildinfo at the end of the configure stage, when run in CI, or
when `CURL_BUILDINFO` or `CURL_CI` env is set.

cmake: migrate dependency detections to Find modules

For: libgsasl, libidn2, libssh, libuv.

The new Find modules retain using `pkg-config` natively, not as a "hint"
for the CMake-native detection. Of the pre-existing Find modules, only
FindNettle, and FindGSS (with customized code) work this way. Align
detection code for the new modules and add version detection for the
CMake-native paths.

Also, add CMake-native detection for `libgsasl`.

The remaining outlier in `CMakeLists.txt` is GnuTLS, which has
a CMake built-in Find module, but which lacks `pkg-config` support,
required for vcpkg. It remains unchanged.

Another part-outlier is `libssh`, which keeps requiring the trick
`find_package(libssh CONFIG QUIET)` for reasons I could not yet figure
out.

cmake: rename Find modules

- `FindLibPSL` -> `FindLibpsl`
- `FindLibSSH2` -> `FindLibssh2`
- `FindQUICHE` -> `FindQuiche`
- `Findrustls` -> `FindRustls`

Our convention for naming Find modules (the part after the `Find`
prefix, also called as 'package name') is:

Always start with uppercase. Follow with lowercase, unless there is
a clear preference for a stylized name. E.g. the project itself uses it
that way with a matching `<Name>Config.cmake` file, or we use it that
way elsewhere, or the name is an acronym.
