ldap: drop support for legacy Novell LDAP SDK
The latest copy I could find at:
https://beta.novell.com/developer/ndk/ldap_libraries_for_c.html
is from 2016-Feb-03, available for Linux and Windows.

I built curl against the Windows package with CMake:
https://sdk.suse.com/ndk/cldap/builds/2016/openldapsdk-devel-windows64-2016-01-28.zip
(It comes with OpenSSL 1.0.1q-fips (2015-Dec-03) binaries.)
CMake identified it as OpenLDAP and built with it as expected:
```
curl 8.12.0-DEV (x86_64-w64-mingw32) libcurl/8.12.0-DEV Schannel OpenLDAP/2.4.37
Release-Date: [unreleased]
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher gophers http https imap imaps ipfs ipns ldap ldaps mqtt pop3 pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp ws wss
Features: alt-svc AsynchDNS HSTS HTTPS-proxy IPv6 Kerberos Largefile NTLM SPNEGO SSL SSPI threadsafe UnixSockets
```

Since it identified it as OpenLDAP (`lib/openldap.c`), the branch
deleted in this PR (`lib/ldap.c`) wasn't reached. Thus, defining
the `CURL_HAS_NOVELL_LDAPSDK` also made no difference in the build.
This suggests the code guarded by it is now orphan and unnecessary.

Novell NetWare builds were another user, but we dropped support for them
in 2022: 3b16575ae9 #8358

Closes #16176
