This new functionality is about controlling the usage of older LibreSSL
builds within Linux ports. The versions being overriden at the moment
actually come from 2015, hence having this directly in LSI.
Effectively we'll "solve" the issue of not being able to have both
LibreSSL and OpenSSL at the same time, by adding a shim mode. With this
mode we're able to provide new names for the LibreSSL libraries, so that
they can be provided explicitly for LSI usage.
For Solus we've opted to package this up as "libressl-shim", and suffixed
all of the libraries with "-libressl". This can be controlled within the
meson options for best results. For distributions already using LibreSSL
as their native SSL implementation, the `native` option will ensure that
the host libSSL (libressl) is used providing that it has the required
1.0.0 ABI compatibility symlinks.
