cmake: delete obsolete TODOs more [ci skip]

- manual completed: 898b012a9bf388590c4be7f526815b5ab74feca1 #1288
- soname completed: 5de6848f104d7cb0017080e31216265ac19d0dde #10023
- bunch of others that are completed
- `NTLM_WB_ENABLED` is implemented in a basic form, and now also
  scheduled for removal, so a TODO at this point isn't useful.

And this 'to-check' item:

Q: "The cmake build selected to run gcc with -fPIC on my box while the
   plain configure script did not."

A: With CMake, since 2ebc74c36a19a1700af394c16855ce144d9878e3 #11546
   and fc9bfb14520712672b4784e8b48256fb29204011 #11627, we explicitly
   enable PIC for libcurl shared lib. Or when building libcurl for
   shared and static lib in a single pass. We do this by default for
   Windows or when enabled by the user via `SHARE_LIB_OBJECT`.
   Otherwise we don't touch this setting. Meaning the default set by
   CMake (if any) or the toolchain is used. On Debian Bookworm, this
   means that PIC is disabled for static libs by default. Some platforms
   (like macOS), has PIC enabled by default.
   autotools supports the double-pass mode only, and in that case
   CMake seems to match PIC behaviour now (as tested on Linux with gcc.)

Follow-up to 5d5dfdbd1a6c40bd75e982b66f49e1fa3a7eeae7 #12500
