[PATCH v2 09/12] git-curl-compat: remove check for curl 7.56.0

Message-ID

libcurl 7.56.0 was released in September 2017, which is over seven years ago, and no major operating system vendor is still providing security support for it. Debian 10, which is out of mainstream security support, has supported a newer version, and Ubuntu 20.04 and RHEL 8, which are still in support, also have a newer version.

Remove the check for this version and use this functionality unconditionally.
