Description:
------------
Windows includes a secure store that should be used. For instance, its curl.exe or libssh2 can leverage the schannel/WinSSL API.

Currently, PHP ssh2 on Windows assumes to be built only with OpenSSL.

Windows native WinSSL would be a better option by default.

There are actually two not necessarily related issues:

1. Should libssh2 built for Windows use Schannel instead of OpenSSL?

2. Which assumptions about libssh2 should be made by ext/shh2?

(1) would be an issue with winlibs[1].  There had already been some
discussion regarding cURL[2].

(2) could be solved by using pkg-config[3].  This way users could
do custom builds of libssh2, and use these to build ext/ssh2.  Not
necessarily convenient, but a first step.  And given that it's not
hard to set up suitable Github actions nowadays, a viable option.
