The idea behind it is very simple: if user overrides path to openssl then
he most likely wants to have that path added to `RPATH`, so when application is
run it can actually find it, even if path is not in `ldconfig` or
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH`/`LD_PRELOAD`.
PS. Note that it's the same behaviour as in 3.2.x:
https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/blob/3.2.x/build/crypto.m4#L93
PPS. And yes, probably it should be like that for all shared libraries: if
path is overridden it should be added to `rpath`
