[Bug 2018614] [NEW] curl has the --http3 option, but libcurl has no http3 support

[Shawn Heisey]

Public bug reported:

I have been using the ymuski/curl-http3 docker image to get support for
http3 in a CI/CD task.

Today I noticed in the man page for curl on the VM that --http3 is
mentioned.  So I updated my gitlab CI definition to use the native curl
instead.  I got an error message saying libcurl does not support it.
"curl: option --http3: the installed libcurl version doesn't support
this"

I can't think of a good reason to exclude that support from libcurl
while leaving the --http3 option in curl itself.  Can it be added to the
package, at least for jammy and later?
