Revert: cmake: enable `CURL_USE_PKGCONFIG` for cross-`MINGW`

This reverts commit 39c06f7883f448c222082c0dbb3d9a4c5eae2826 #15005.

Combined with most Find modules now supporting `pkg-config`
(39c741b7b008b5959980b29ac721357ff75de3f5 #15408) this change made
mingw-cross builds fragile by picking up OS-native components. Also
adding `/usr/include` to the header path, confusing feature detection.
