Change #261884

Comments

rtmp: drop support
- librtmp has no test cases, makes no proper releases and has not had a
  single commit within the last year

- librtmp parses the URL itself and requires non-compliant URLs for this

- we have no RTMP tests

- RTMP was used by 2.2% of curl users (self-identified in the 2025
  survey)

Closes #20673
