mingw: do load libcurl dynamically by default

This will help with Git for Windows' maintenance going forward: It allows Git for Windows to switch its primary libcurl to a variant without the OpenSSL backend, while still loading an alternate when setting `http.sslBackend = openssl`. This is necessary to avoid maintenance headaches with upgrading OpenSSL: its major version name is encoded in the shared library's file name and hence major version updates (temporarily) break libraries that are linked against the OpenSSL library.
