cmake: fix building with CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_PREFER_CONFIG=ON
This CMake global custom option tells it to find dependencies as cmake
Configs first, and only then look for `Find*` modules. This may result
in `find_package()` succeeding, but without actually creating `CURL::*`
imported targets the curl build scripts are expecting.

For dependencies with curl-specific, local, `Find*` modules, we always
want to use them, via the module detection method, and never a
Config-based detection. Ensure this by passing the `MODULE` option to
`find_package()` and `find_dependency()` to make them use `Find*`
modules unconditionally, making them work as expected with the
`CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_PREFER_CONFIG=ON` option set.

curl uses local Find modules for all dependencies except OpenSSL and
ZLIB. The latter two keep using either CMake's built-in Find modules or
Config method as before this patch.

Also:

- apply the same change to `curl-config.cmake`. To fix consuming curl
  with this option set.

- GHA/distcheck: add a job testing both building and consuming curl with
  this option set. (takes 15 seconds)
  Use custom NGHTTP2 configuration for an extra twist (not required
  to trigger this issue.)
