lighttpd: add option to use OpenSSL crypto library

Currently, it is not feasible to configure lighttpd to use OpenSSL as
its internal crypto library. Instead, one must rely on alternative
crypto libraries such as Nettle or mbedTLS. This setup is not ideal in
scenarios where a single crypto library is preferred. To address this
issue, lets propose introducing OpenSSL as an additional configuration
option.  Similarly, propose GnuTLS as additional configuration option.

Subject: [PATCH] sys-crypto.h: add support for OpenSSL as crypto library
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Each TLS module in lighttpd is built to utilize its corresponding TLS
library. For example, lighttpd's mod_openssl module utilizes OpenSSL,
and its mod_mbedtls module uses mbedTLS.
Separately, the core lighttpd application may employ cryptographic
functions. For efficiency and portability, if lighttpd is compiled with
Nettle, it becomes the default cryptographic library for the base
application. However, each TLS module within lighttpd still relies on
its respective TLS library.
In scenarios where lighttpd is configured with only one TLS library and
without Nettle, the base application adopts the cryptographic functions
from that specific TLS library.
When preparing for Linux distributions, lighttpd might be built with
several TLS modules, where each module uses its designated TLS library.
Presently, lighttpd does not offer a distinct, dedicated option to
select the cryptographic library for the base application.
In contexts like embedded systems, where a single TLS library might be
utilized across the entire base system, specific configurations allow
the use of either mbedTLS or wolfSSL. For these, lighttpd is compiled
with -DFORCE_MBEDTLS_CRYPTO or -DFORCE_WOLFSSL_CRYPTO, respectively.
To extend this capability, let's introduce the FORCE_OPENSSL_CRYPTO
define, enabling lighttpd to also use OpenSSL as an additional
cryptographic library, akin to the existing support for mbedTLS and
wolfSSL.
