`CURL_OPENSSL_3' not found` from git on test-osuosl-ubuntu1604-ppc64le-

Please set the title to indicate the test name and machine name where known.

To make it easy for the infrastructure team to repeat and diagnose, please answer the following questions:

• test suite/name (e.g, BUILD_LIST, TARGET, CUSTOM_TARGET)? sanity.system
• a link into recent Test_ job on https://ci.adoptium.net which showed the failure
• Hyperlink to re-run in Grinder: Can't get it from the testList_0 but this forced to the correct machine should reprocuce it
• Is there an existing issue elsewhere covering this? Unknown
• Which machine(s) does it fail on? test-osuosl-ubuntu1604-ppc64le-
• Which machine(s) does it work on? Presumably everything else if this hasn't been reported elsewhere

Any other details: Here is the failure:

@smlambert to check if this happens on other machines, and if it's only happening on older LInux releases we can close this.

This machine had a self-compiled git 2.15 in /usr/local/bin which was being used and was causing the problem. The system installed git was 2.25 and works well. I have therefore created /usr/local/bin/git-broken and moved the git* binaries from /usr/local/bin. The machine now works as tested at https://ci.adoptium.net/job/Grinder/11734/console

It is,. however, somewhat odd that the test-osuosl-ubuntu1804-ppc64le-1 machine has 2.17 installed (it does not have another git in /usr/local/bin, therefore this problem is not seen on there.
