[Read-only notification of GnuTLS library development activities]

Andreas Metzler created a merge request: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/merge_requests/1870

Project:Branches: ametzler/gnutls:2024-tmp-choose-dlopen to gnutls/gnutls:master
Author:   Andreas Metzler




<!-- Add a description of the new feature/bug fix. Reference any relevant bugs. -->
- Enforce that configure aborts e.g. if --with-zstd is specified but zstd is not available.
- Each configure option that is backed by a possibly dlopened library (zstd, brotli, tpm2, ocs) now takes dlopen or link as additional arguments (besides yes/no and implicitly for default-on options "enable if available at ./configure time".
- Zlib detection now requires pkgconf like the other helper libraries.
- Small zlib/libz cleanup, we had `AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_ZLIB` and `AC_DEFINE([HAVE_LIBZ]`.
- Add a global status-message on whether dlopen is available.
