libcurl: Allow selection of TLS package libcurl will use

Instead of defaulting to OpenSSL, allow selection of package to use
through a choice in libcurl's config.  The default will be to select the
first enabled TLS provider in the same preference order as is used now,
i.e. no change from current behavior.

Some of the alternative libraries have advantages over OpenSSL in
certain areas.

For example, gnutls has vastly superior PKCS11 support.  One can use
client TLS private keys by supplying a PKCS11 URI instead of a private
key file name.  The TLS server cert trust store can be a PKCS11 URI,
e.g. configure libcurl with a ca-bundle of "pkcs11:model=p11-kit-trust".
Now server certs can be stored in a software and/or hardware HSM(s).
This doesn't work with OpenSSL.

However, some software only supports OpenSSL for TLS or other crypto
functions.  So it might be necessary to enable OpenSSL for that reason.

	only do .pc fixup if BR2_PACKAGE_LIBCURL_OPENSSL is enabled]
