travis: disable the libssh build

It can't run on focal and causes warnings on bionic. Since the focal
failure started rather suddenly a while ago, we can suspect it might be
temporary.

Added "bring back the build" to the TODO document.

Fixes #7011
Closes #7012

-20.9 Use "random" ports for the test servers
+20.9 Bring back libssh tests on Travis
 
- Instead of insisting and using fixed port numbers for the tests (even though
- they can be changed with a switch), consider letting each server pick a
- random available one at start-up, store that info in a file and let the test
- suite use that.
-
- We could then remove the "check that it is our server that's running"-check
- and we would immediately detect when we write tests wrongly to use hard-coded
- port numbers.
+ In https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/7012 we remove the libssh builds and
+ tests from Travis CI due to them not working. This should be remedied and
+ libssh builds be brought back.
