SSL support isn't included by default however the server does not fail to
launch if ssl options are included in config

When I tested it, connect blocks were simply dismissed if they included config
options such as cryptlink flag or  encrypted = yes;
Meaning, if a connect block had one of these options and you were to do
/sconnect connectblockname in order to connect to the server,
the server would come back with connect block not found.

Suggested action:
Upon option that would require ssl support being found in the config file, the
server should fail to start, indicate which option it is failing on and link to
the /usr/share/doc/ircd-hybrid file that explains about ssl support.

This may be a drastic approach as people may have configs with ssl options
running at the moment and this update will stop the server from running.

At the very least, output a clear message to the log files about ssl support
and connect block being ignored with them. Without it, there are no clear
indications what would cause a connect block not to be recognised.
