While working on a libssh2 update [0] I noticed that curl was not
keeping a reference to libssh2, even though libssh2 is an input of the
curl build.
Our curl package is missing the required configuration option:
------
SSH support: no (--with-libssh2)
------
I assume that our curl package did build with SSH support in the past,
but I'm not sure.
It's unfortunate that we have to use a graft to update libssh2 even
though only a few dozen packages refer to it, because of this curl
issue.
What should we do about curl? Should we remove libssh2 from its inputs,
or enable the build-time --with-libssh2 configuration option?

Since no one apparently uses it, let's just remove it. I'm something of
a curl power user and did not know it even had SSH support!
In the mean time, if curl is the only "heavy" user of libssh2, we
can give it a non-public or hidden libssh2 package that stays on version
1.8.0 to avoid the graft. WDYT?

Good idea! Done in af8f7eb4f2a664c2d0fb3faabaf2e80c72993ef6
I'll leave this bug open until curl either uses libssh2 or we remove the
dependency.

This commit changed the cURL derivation, so I pushed a followup in
c1f4e6491cecc5d121ef371a8fb2aa0a07030d36.
I think using the "hidden?" property will leave the derivation
unchanged (as opposed to (hidden-package ...)).
@guix-sysadmin: Can you cancel evaluation 4309 on Berlin?

Oops... I did check that the libssh2 derivation had not changed, but I
didn't expect the order of the inputs in the curl package definition to
affect the derivation. Thanks for you quick fix!

(hidden-package) does work to preserve the derivation — the issue was
the inputs ordering in the curl package definition. I pushed another
followup to use it.

Oops, indeed it does.. I must have mixed it up with something else,
thanks for correcting my flawed assumption :-)
