gskit: remove

Browse source 
We remove support for building curl with gskit.

 - This is a niche TLS library, only running on some IBM systems
 - no regular curl contributors use this backend
 - no CI builds use or verify this backend
 - gskit, or the curl adaption for it, lacks many modern TLS features
   making it an inferior solution
 - build breakages in this code take weeks or more to get detected
 - fixing gskit code is mostly done "flying blind"

This removal has been advertized in DEPRECATED in Jan 2, 2023 and it has
been mentioned on the curl-library mailing list.

It could be brought back, this is not a ban. Given proper effort and
will, gskit support is welcome back into the curl TLS backend family.

Closes #11460
