Subject: [PATCH] backtrack with CURL_LIBS for all except servers

Necessary in certain cases:
https://github.com/curl/curl/actions/runs/15798441792/job/44533568505?pr=17696
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/curlorg/curl/builds/52275205

The actual linkage needs are somewhat messy:
- certain tests do themselves depend on system libs (e.g. ws2_32)
- curlx depends on certain system libs (e.g. curlx_wait_ms on ws2_32)
  This only applies when linking against shared libcurl.

Sometimes this is satified because libcurl pulls in the right libs,
but when not linking relies on an explicit CURL_LIBS.
