Matt Caswell d8f031e890 Move the loading of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto
The GOST engine needs to be loaded before we initialise libssl. Otherwise
the GOST ciphersuites are not enabled. However the SSL conf module must
be loaded before we initialise libcrypto. Otherwise we will fail to read
the SSL config from a config file properly.

Another problem is that an application may make use of both libcrypto and
libssl. If it performs libcrypto stuff first and OPENSSL_init_crypto()
is called and loads a config file it will fail if that config file has
any libssl stuff in it.

This commit separates out the loading of the SSL conf module from the
interpretation of its contents. The loading piece doesn't know anything
about SSL so this can be moved to libcrypto. The interpretation of what it
means remains in libssl. This means we can load the SSL conf data before
libssl is there and interpret it when it later becomes available.

Fixes #5809

Adding new libraries
--------------------

When adding a new sub-library to OpenSSL, assign it a library number
ERR_LIB_XXX, define a macro XXXerr() (both in err.h), add its
name to ERR_str_libraries[] (in crypto/err/err.c), and add
ERR_load_XXX_strings() to the ERR_load_crypto_strings() function
(in crypto/err/err_all.c). Finally, add an entry:

    L      XXX     xxx.h   xxx_err.c

to crypto/err/openssl.ec, and add xxx_err.c to the Makefile.
Running make errors will then generate a file xxx_err.c, and
add all error codes used in the library to xxx.h.

Additionally the library include file must have a certain form.
Typically it will initially look like this:

    #ifndef HEADER_XXX_H
    #define HEADER_XXX_H

    #ifdef __cplusplus
    extern "C" {
    #endif

    /* Include files */

    #include <openssl/bio.h>
    #include <openssl/x509.h>

    /* Macros, structures and function prototypes */


    /* BEGIN ERROR CODES */

The BEGIN ERROR CODES sequence is used by the error code
generation script as the point to place new error codes, any text
after this point will be overwritten when make errors is run.
The closing #endif etc will be automatically added by the script.

The generated C error code file xxx_err.c will load the header
files stdio.h, openssl/err.h and openssl/xxx.h so the
header file must load any additional header files containing any
definitions it uses.
