[ptxdist] [RFC PATCH 0/2] openssl: Add more hw acceleration support options

[Alexander Dahl via ptxdist <ptxdist@pengutronix.de>]

I was experimenting with crypto hardware acceleration on microchip at91
sam9x60 based hardware [1] and stumbled over two things in ptxdist
openssl package.  Our usecases (for example lighttpd + TLS) seems not to
benefit from kTLS, cryptodev, or AF_ALG on this platform, but I leave
this here for reference if anyone wants to pick it up.

The reaseon why it is marked RFC: the shared objects in
/usr/lib/engines-3 are rather small (especially compared to
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.3), so maybe install all of them unconditionally
with `install_tree()` instead?

Note: openssl drops engine support with the upcoming 4.0 release.
Support may come back with 4.1 as provider, but 4.0 will probably come
without support for cryptodev and af_alg: See
https://github.com/openssl/project/issues/1318 and linked tickets for
details.
