openssl: add legacy provider
This adapts the engine build infrastructure to allow building providers,
and packages the legacy provider.  Providers are the successors of
engines, which have been deprecated.

The legacy provider supplies OpenSSL implementations of algorithms that
have been deemed legacy, including DES, IDEA, MDC2, SEED, and Whirlpool.

Even though these algorithms are implemented in a separate package,
their removal makes the regular library smaller by 3%, so the build
options will remain to allow lean custom builds.  Their defaults will
change to 'y' if not bulding for a small flash, so that the regular
legacy package will contain a complete set of algorithms.

The engine build and configuration structure was changed to accomodate
providers, and adapt to the new style of openssl.cnf in version 3.0.

There is not a clean upgrade path for the /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf file,
installed by the openssl-conf package.  It is recommended to rename or
remove the old config file when flashing an image with the updated
openssl-conf package, then apply the changes manually.

An old openssl.cnf file will silently work, but new engine or provider
packages will not be enabled.  Any remaining engine config files under
/etc/ssl/engines.cnf.d can be removed.

On the build side, the include file used by engine packages was renamed
to openssl-module.mk, so the engine packages in other feeds need to
adapt.

openssl: make UCI config aware of built-in engines
Engines that are built into the main libcrypto OpenSSL library can't be
disabled through UCI.  Add a 'builtin' setting to signal that the engine
can't be disabled through UCI, and show a message explaining this in
case buitin=1 and enabled=0.

openssl: fix sysupgrade failure with devcrypto
The bump to 3.0.8 inadvertently removed patches that are needed here,
but were not adopted upstream.  The most important one changes the
default value of the DIGESTS setting from ALL to NONE.  The absence of
this patch causes a sysupgrade failure while the engine is in use with
digests enabled.  When this happens, the system fails to boot with a
kernel panic.

Also, explicitly set DIGESTS to NONE in the provided config file, and
change the default ciphers setting to disable ECB, which has been
recommended for a long time and may cause trouble with some apps.

The config file change by itself is not enough because the config file
may be preserved during sysupgrade.

For people affected by this bug:

You can either:
1. remove, the libopenssl-devcrypto package
2. disable the engine in /etc/config/openssl;
3. change /etc/ssl/engines.cnf.d/devcrypto.cnf to set DIGESTS=NONE;
4. update libopenssl-devcrypto to >=3.0.8-3

However, after doing any of the above, **you must reboot the device
before running sysupgrade** to ensure no running application is using
the engine.  Running `/etc/init.d/openssl restart` is not enough.

0134f845da openssl: configure engines with uci
This uses uci to configure engines, by generating a list of enabled
engines in /var/etc/ssl/engines.cnf from engines configured in
/etc/config/openssl:

    config engine 'devcrypto'
            option enabled '1'

Currently the only options implemented are 'enabled', which defaults to
true and enables the named engine, and the 'force' option, that enables
the engine even if the init script thinks the engine does not exist.

The existence test is to check for either a configuration file
/etc/ssl/engines.cnf.d/%ENGINE%.cnf, or a shared object file
/usr/lib/engines-1.1/%ENGINE%.so.

The engine list is generated by an init script which is set to run after
'log' because it informs the engines being enabled or skipped.  It
should run before any service using OpenSSL as the crypto library,
otherwise the service will not use any engine.

30b0351039 openssl: configure engine packages during install
This enables an engine during its package's installation, by adding it
to the engines list in /etc/ssl/engines.cnf.d/engines.cnf.

The engine build system was reworked, with the addition of an engine.mk
file that groups some of the engine packages' definitions, and could be
used by out of tree engines as well.

17a6ca12d3 openssl: config engines in /etc/ssl/engines.cnf.d
This changes the configuration of engines from the global openssl.cnf to
files in the /etc/ssl/engines.cnf.d directory.  The engines.cnf file has
the list of enabled engines, while each engine has its own configuration
file installed under /etc/ssl/engines.cnf.d.

Patches were refreshed with --zero-commit.
