Revert "CheckIncludeFiles: Honor CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES"

This reverts commit v3.11.0-rc1~108^2 (CheckIncludeFiles: Honor
CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES, 2017-12-24).  The behavior change can
affect checks in existing projects that don't expect the behavior.
Introducing the behavior again will require a policy.

Fixes: #17874
Issue: #9514

+Changes made since CMake 3.11.0 include the following.

+3.11.1
+------
+
+* The :module:`CheckIncludeFile` module ``check_include_file`` macro,
+  :module:`CheckIncludeFileCXX` module ``check_include_file_cxx`` macro,
+  and :module:`CheckIncludeFiles` module ``check_include_files`` macro
+  were taught to honor the ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES`` variable in
+  CMake 3.11.0.  This has been reverted due to changing behavior of
+  checks for existing projects.  It may be restored in the future
+  with a policy for compatibility.
