Win32 threads are always available. We enabled them unconditionally (with `ENABLE_THREADED_RESOLVER`). CMake built-in thread detection logic has this condition hard-coded for Windows as well (since at least 2007). Instead of doing all the work of detecting pthread combinations on Windows, then discarding those results, skip these efforts and assume built-in thread support when building for Windows. This save 2-3 slow detection steps on CMake configuration. Closes #xxxxx

The side effect is that on some targets
phtreadis no longer linkedautomatically to curl even when curl itself did not require or use it.
This was seen to happen with mingw-w64 on x86 and arm64 targets
(but not with x64), causing the
.mapfile referencingpthreadlib, butwithout any actual use. If a curl dependency requires
pthreadand thedependency's CMake logic doesn't add it automatically, it needs to be
added manually to make it link in all cases, e.g. for BoringSSL with
mingw-w64, where it was already required for x64, but possibly worked
by accident for x86 and arm64.
