Does gix static link TLS library?

[KSXGitHub]

I'm planning to migrate some of my existing tools from the git2 crate (libgit2) to the gix crate because dynamic dependencies have been causing headaches.

My question is:

• What kind of TLS library does gix uses?
• Is it statically linked?
• How to enable/disable this feature?

gix supports a couple of HTTP transport implementations, with one being curl and another being reqwest. curl supports different TLS implementations, and I never tried to change the default.

It should be possible to pull in curl as a direct dependency and alter its feature flags, to affect the entire dependency tree, allowing to configure the TLS implementation that is used by the application.

I recommend experimentation with the options outlined above, maybe that works already, or concrete idea of what needs improvement arises from that.
