cURL in git for windows does not support HTTP/2 anymore

 Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) Upgraded to a recent git for windows found here: https://git-scm.com/downloads

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) The embedded curl should be able to use HTTP/2 against our backend.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior) After updating git for windows curl is unable to authenticate to our backend that requires HTTP/2. curl --version shows it is not compiled in. It worked in the prior version, 2.39.0.windows.2

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? I expected curl to be able to run as before when contacting our backend in our maintenance scripts. I'm not allowed to install a custom curl on our corporate network, and the windows version does not support HTTP/2 either. But the git version used to.
