installer: switch the libcurl default to Secure Channel
In line with git-for-windows/MINGW-packages#76, the default SSL/TLS backend is now the Secure Channel one. Let's reflect that in the installer. This makes Git for Windows' maintenance easier (see git-for-windows/git#4350 for a fuller explanation). But it has further benefits: the Secure Channel backend is the "more native" choice on Windows, as it integrates better with Windows. For example, when trusting a host with a self-signed certificate in a web browser, that trust extends to Secure Channel. With the OpenSSL backend, users had to jump through manual hoops to get `git clone <url>` to trust a host with a self-signed certificate. Note: The installer will _still_ pick up previous choices when upgrading from an earlier Git for Windows version. Only fresh installs without any current Git for Windows installations will receive the new default. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
