Summary0005193: bump up cURL+gnURL requirement to at least 7.57.0
DescriptionI think with the new release for GNUnet we should bump of cURL + gnURL requirement to 7.57.0 as cURL releases are usually (with just a couple of exceptions) security fix releases.

Is it reasonable to assume that most systems are on 7.57.0 by then, or should we assume some earlier version?
While I'm no fan of repology, this can be useful: https://repology.org/metapackage/curl/versions
Ultimately it's up to the downstream operating systems to keep up to date,
and up to us to decide what we want to rely on.

What do you think?

Most security fixes of curl don't affect HTTP(S). If they do, it does make sense to bump the requirement.

Seems so far no change required, if you notice a security issue that does affect gnurl, please *do* bump the version requirement yourself directly.
