Previously, we used as default SSL backend whatever was first in the
`available_backends` array.
However, some users may want to override that default without patching
the source code.
Now they can: with the --with-default-ssl-backend=<backend> option of
the ./configure script.

When only one SSL backend is configured, it is totally unnecessary to
let multissl_init() configure the backend at runtime, we can select the
correct backend at build time already.

Let's add a compile time safe API to select an SSL backend. This
function needs to be called *before* curl_global_init(), and can be
called only once.
Side note: we do not explicitly test that it is called before
curl_global_init(), but we do verify that it is not called multiple times
(even implicitly).
If SSL is used before the function was called, it will use whatever the
CURL_SSL_BACKEND environment variable says (or default to the first
available SSL backend), and if a subsequent call to
curl_global_sslset() disagrees with the previous choice, it will fail
with CURLSSLSET_TOO_LATE.
The function also accepts an "avail" parameter to point to a (read-only)
NULL-terminated list of available backends. This comes in real handy if
an application wants to let the user choose between whatever SSL backends
the currently available libcurl has to offer: simply call
curl_global_sslset(-1, NULL, &avail);
which will return CURLSSLSET_UNKNOWN_BACKEND and populate the avail
variable to point to the relevant information to present to the user.
Just like with the HTTP/2 push functions, we have to add the function
declaration of curl_global_sslset() function to the header file
*multi.h* because VMS and OS/400 require a stable order of functions
declared in include/curl/*.h (where the header files are sorted
alphabetically). This looks a bit funny, but it cannot be helped.

There is information about the compiled-in SSL backends that is really
no concern of any code other than the SSL backend itself, such as which
function (if any) implements SHA-256 summing.
And there is information that is really interesting to the user, such as
the name, or the curl_sslbackend value.
Let's factor out the latter into a publicly visible struct. This
information will be used in the upcoming API to set the SSL backend
globally.

When building software for the masses, it is sometimes not possible to
decide for all users which SSL backend is appropriate.
Git for Windows, for example, uses cURL to perform clones, fetches and
pushes via HTTPS, and some users strongly prefer OpenSSL, while other
users really need to use Secure Channel because it offers
enterprise-ready tools to manage credentials via Windows' Credential
Store.
The current Git for Windows versions use the ugly work-around of
building libcurl once with OpenSSL support and once with Secure Channel
support, and switching out the binaries in the installer depending on
the user's choice.
Needless to say, this is a super ugly workaround that actually only
works in some cases: Git for Windows also comes in a portable form, and
in a form intended for third-party applications requiring Git
functionality, in which cases this "swap out libcurl-4.dll" simply is
not an option.
Therefore, the Git for Windows project has a vested interest in teaching
cURL to make the SSL backend a *runtime* option.
This patch makes that possible.
By running ./configure with multiple --with-<backend> options, cURL will
be built with multiple backends.
For the moment, the backend can be configured using the environment
variable CURL_SSL_BACKEND (valid values are e.g. "openssl" and
"schannel").

So far, all of the SSL backends' private data has been declared as
part of the ssl_connect_data struct, in one big #if .. #elif .. #endif
block.
This can only work as long as the SSL backend is a compile-time option,
something we want to change in the next commits.
Therefore, let's encapsulate the exact data needed by each SSL backend
into a private struct, and let's avoid bleeding any SSL backend-specific
information into urldata.h. This is also necessary to allow multiple SSL
backends to be compiled in at the same time, as e.g. OpenSSL's and
CyaSSL's headers cannot be included in the same .c file.
To avoid too many malloc() calls, we simply append the private structs
to the connectdata struct in allocate_conn().
This requires us to take extra care of alignment issues: struct fields
often need to be aligned on certain boundaries e.g. 32-bit values need to
be stored at addresses that divide evenly by 4 (= 32 bit / 8
bit-per-byte).
We do that by assuming that no SSL backend's private data contains any
fields that need to be aligned on boundaries larger than `long long`
(typically 64-bit) would need. Under this assumption, we simply add a
dummy field of type `long long` to the `struct connectdata` struct. This
field will never be accessed but acts as a placeholder for the four
instances of ssl_backend_data instead. the size of each ssl_backend_data
struct is stored in the SSL backend-specific metadata, to allow
allocate_conn() to know how much extra space to allocate, and how to
initialize the ssl[sockindex]->backend and proxy_ssl[sockindex]->backend
pointers.
This would appear to be a little complicated at first, but is really
necessary to encapsulate the private data of each SSL backend correctly.
And we need to encapsulate thusly if we ever want to allow selecting
CyaSSL and OpenSSL at runtime, as their headers cannot be included within
the same .c file (there are just too many conflicting definitions and
declarations for that).

At the moment, cURL's SSL backend needs to be configured at build time.
As such, it is totally okay for them to hard-code their backend-specific
data in the ssl_connect_data struct.
In preparation for making the SSL backend a runtime option, let's make
the access of said private data a bit more abstract so that it can be
adjusted later in an easy manner.

In the ongoing endeavor to abstract out all SSL backend-specific
functionality, this is the next step: Instead of hard-coding how the
different SSL backends access their internal data in getinfo.c, let's
implement backend-specific functions to do that task.
This will also allow for switching SSL backends as a runtime option.

There are convenient no-op versions of the init/cleanup functions now,
no need to define private ones for axTLS.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
These functions are all available via the Curl_ssl struct now, no need
to declare them separately anymore.
As the global declarations are removed, the corresponding function
definitions are marked as file-local. The only two exceptions here are
Curl_mbedtls_shutdown() and Curl_polarssl_shutdown(): only the
declarations were removed, there are no function definitions to mark
file-local.
Please note that Curl_nss_force_init() is *still* declared globally, as
the only SSL backend-specific function, because it was introduced
specifically for the use case where cURL was compiled with
`--without-ssl --with-nss`. For details, see f3b77e561 (http_ntlm: add
support for NSS, 2010-06-27).

The SHA-256 checksumming is also an SSL backend-specific function.
Let's include it in the struct declaring the functionality of SSL
backends.
In contrast to MD5, there is no fall-back code. To indicate this, the
respective entries are NULL for those backends that offer no support for
SHA-256 checksumming.

The MD5 summing is also an SSL backend-specific function. So let's
include it, offering the previous fall-back code as a separate function
now: Curl_none_md5sum(). To allow for that, the signature had to be

(Curl_none_md5sum() can run out of memory).

- Change gnutls pointer/int macros to pointer/curl_socket_t.
Prior to this change they used long type as well.
The size of the `long` data type can be shorter than that of pointer
types. This is the case most notably on Windows.
If C99 were acceptable, we could simply use `intptr_t` here. But we
want to retain C89 compatibility.
Simply use the trick of performing pointer arithmetic with the NULL
pointer: to convert an integer `i` to a pointer, simply take the
address of the `i`th element of a hypothetical character array
starting at address NULL. To convert back, simply cast the pointer
difference.
Thanks to Jay Satiro for the initial modification to use curl_socket_t
instead of int/long.

cyassl/ssl.h needs the macros from cyassl/options.h, so define them
before including cyassl/ssl.h the first time, which happens in
urldata.h.
This broke the build on Ubuntu Xenial, which comes with WolfSSL 3.4.8
and therefore redefines the symbols from cyassl/options.h instead of
including the header.
