like Malloc, Realloc and especially Free conflict with already existing names

the names of the OpenSSL memory allocation macros to something that has a
better chance of being unique, like prepending them with OPENSSL_.
This change includes all the name changes needed throughout all C files.
yet tighter, and also put some heat on the rest of the library by
insisting (correctly) that compare callbacks used in stacks are prototyped
with "const" parameters. This has led to a depth-first explosion of
compiler warnings in the code where 1 constification has led to 3 or 4
more. Fortunately these have all been resolved to completion and the code
seems cleaner as a result - in particular many of the _cmp() functions
should have been prototyped with "const"s, and now are. There was one
little problem however;
X509_cmp() should by rights compare "const X509 *" pointers, and it is now
declared as such. However, it's internal workings can involve
recalculating hash values and extensions if they have not already been
setup. Someone with a more intricate understanding of the flow control of
X509 might be able to tighten this up, but for now - this seemed the
obvious place to stop the "depth-first" constification of the code by
using an evil cast (they have migrated all the way here from safestack.h).
Fortunately, this is the only place in the code where this was required
to complete these type-safety changes, and it's reasonably clear and
commented, and seemed the least unacceptable of the options. Trying to
take the constification further ends up exploding out considerably, and
indeed leads directly into generalised ASN functions which are not likely
to cooperate well with this.

If SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE is set, don't waste time in SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh
on computing a DH key that will be ignored anyway.
ssltest -dhe1024dsa (w/ 160-bit sub-prime) had an unfair performance
advantage over -dhe1024 (safe prime): SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE was
effectively always enabled because SSL_new ignored the DH key set in
the SSL_CTX. Now -dhe1024 takes the server only about twice as long
as -dhe1024dsa instead of three times as long (for 1024 bit RSA
with 1024 bit DH).
This will soon be complemented with MacOS specific source code files and
INSTALL.MacOS.
I (Andy) have decided to get rid of a number of #include <sys/types.h>.
I've verified it's ok (both by examining /usr/include/*.h and compiling)
on a number of Unix platforms. Unfortunately I don't have Windows box
to verify this on. I really appreciate if somebody could try to compile
it and contact me a.s.a.p. in case a problem occurs.

Also, clean up htons vs. ntohs confusions.
While modifying the sources, I found some inconsistencies on the use of
s->cert vs. s->session->sess_cert; I don't know if those could
really have caused problems, but possibly this is a proper bug-fix
and not just a clean-up.

private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to their
SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This is needed
for applications which have to configure certificates on a per-connection
basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis (e.g.
s_server).
For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but for the DSA
certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher" problem where the
OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the temporary keys were not
overtaken from the context and the API provided no way to reconfigure them.
The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they are in
detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper function
and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
