Description of problem:
Today curl upstream announced that they are going to completely remove support for metalink from curl already in the next release of curl due to a number of difficult to fix security issues:

    https://curl.se/mail/archive-2021-06/0006.html
    https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/7176

I believe it is not too late to follow this decision in RHEL-9, too.  We could hardly support it ourselves till RHEL-9 EOL when it is broken and unsupported upstream since the beginning.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
curl-7.76.1-4.el9


Steps to Reproduce:
1. curl -V | grep -i metalink


Additional info:
We might want to do the same with wget and consider removing libmetalink, which seems to be dead upstream:

    https://launchpad.net/libmetalink

I will file separate bugs for wget and libmetalink for consideration.
