New global option, openssl_load_all

I think this is a reasonable compromise and sensible way forward for now,
without undermining the whole point of the exercise.

A new option, available when SUPPORT_TLS defined, "openssl_load_all".  It's a
boolean, default false.  It is a fatal error to set this true without also
defining "tls_require_ciphers".

The theory being that anyone who knows to load all algorithms knows enough to
make their own educated decision about a cipher policy but that loading all
algorithms has the risk of adding new dangerous ciphers that should not be
present and would be a security step backwards.  This avoids Exim needing to
push a cipher which can become stale and puts Exim only in the position of
having some mild protection against accidental shooting of self in foot.

I was able to use Martin's sha256 stuff successfully with this patch.


Documentation patch to come next, when I write it.
