If system-wide cURL is OK for us and user has a previous setting of ~/curl

then change the default value to /usr (or similar) during ./Config and
output a warning.
We do this since system-wide cURL is under almost all circumstances
preferred as it is maintained by your OS/distro and hence receives bug
fixes and security updates on a regular basis (or should, anyway).
Experience shows that ~/curl is rarely kept up to date since "it works".

In the past, many years ago, system wide cURL did not have AsynchDNS.
Nowadays nearly all distros build cURL with some sort of AsynchDNS
which makes things much more useable.
