This reverts the regression from #6586, and addresses the real issue.

On Windows, libssh2 depends on a few win32 system dlls such as ws2_32 that we need to pass to the linker:

# pkg-config --libs libssh2
-L/ucrt64/lib -lssh2 -lssl -lcrypto -lws2_32 -lgdi32 -lcrypt32

The linker understands this, but somehow the cmake check find_library does not find these windows dlls and fails:

-- Checking for module 'libssh2'
--   Found libssh2, version 1.11.0
CMake Error at cmake/FindPkgLibraries.cmake:17 (message):
  could not resolve ws2_32
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  cmake/SelectSSH.cmake:3 (find_pkglibraries)
  src/CMakeLists.txt:45 (include)

The change in #6586 masks the problem by not finding libssh2 at all anymore (by looking for the wrong lib name). This makes no sense, the .pc name is libssh2 and not ssh2, so we need to revert this.

This address the underlying problem, perhaps we can just warn instead of fail if cmake is unable to validate one of the libs.

Reverts #6586. Fixes #5981 for real.

Trying to use this PR, I'm getting:

2023-07-19T12:47:32.0057133Z -- Checking for module 'libssh2'

2023-07-19T12:47:35.3483199Z

and then the build fails with:

2023-07-19T12:48:57.9177831Z D:\a\godot-git-plugin\godot-git-plugin\thirdparty\git2\libgit2\src\libgit2\transports\ssh.c(11): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'libssh2.h': No such file or directory

While building with:

cmake -B bin\thirdparty\git2\windows\x86_64 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=cl -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Windows -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DOPENSSL_USE_STATIC_LIBS=1 -DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=D:\a\godot-git-plugin\godot-git-plugin\bin\thirdparty\openssl\windows\x86_64\dest\include -DOPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARY=bin\thirdparty\openssl\windows\x86_64\libssl.lib -DOPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY=bin\thirdparty\openssl\windows\x86_64\libcrypto.lib -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=D:\a\godot-git-plugin\godot-git-plugin\bin\thirdparty\openssl\windows\x86_64 -DBUILD_TESTS=0 -DBUILD_CLI=0 -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=0 -DBUILD_FUZZERS=0 -DUSE_SSH=1 -DUSE_HTTPS=OpenSSL -DUSE_SHA1=OpenSSL -DUSE_BUNDLED_ZLIB=1 -DUSE_HTTP_PARSER=builtin -DREGEX_BACKEND=builtin -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=0 -DLIBSSH2_INCLUDE_DIR=D:\a\godot-git-plugin\godot-git-plugin\thirdparty\ssh2\libssh2\include -DLIBSSH2_LIBRARY=bin\thirdparty\ssh2\windows\x86_64\src\libssh2.lib -DSTATIC_CRT=0 thirdparty\git2

It seems to ignore LIBSSH2_LIBRARY and LIBSSH2_INCLUDE_DIR:

This is my only question - why are we changing this from a fatal to a warning? What's the operational change that this makes? If - for example - I asked for libssh2 on the command line and we couldn't find it, that should be a hard fail, shouldn't it?

I tried to explain this in the post above: on Windows we need to link some Windows SDK dlls such as ws2_32.lib. Cmake does not find these on the command line, so it fails, but the mingw-w64 linker can find them just fine.

See: https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2010-July/037875.html

Perhaps another solution would be to skip-list known windows sdk libraries.
