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.
