libcurl 7.44.0 was released in August 2015, which is over nine years
ago, and no major operating system vendor is still providing security
support for it. Debian 9 and Ubuntu 16.04, both of which are out of
mainstream security support, have supported a newer version, and RHEL 8,
which is still in support, also has a newer version.
Remove the check for this version and use this functionality
unconditionally.
