openssl: disable digests by default, misc fixes

Openssh uses digest contexts across forks, which is not supported by the
/dev/crypto engine.  The speed of digests is usually not worth enabling
them anyway.  This changes the default of the DIGESTS option to NONE, so
the user still has the option to enable them.

Added another patch related to the use of encryption contexts across
forks, that ignores a failure to close a previous open session when
reinitializing a context, instead of failing the reinitialization.

Added a link to the Cryptographic Hardware Accelerators document to the
engine pacakges description, to provide more detailed instructions to
configure the engines.

Revert the removal of the OPENSSL_ENGINE_CRYPTO symbol, currently used
by openssh.  There is an open PR to update openssh; when merged, this
symbol can be safely removed.

+Subject: [PATCH] e_devcrypto: default to not use digests in engine
+
+Digests are almost always slower when using /dev/crypto because of the
+cost of the context switches.  Only for large blocks it is worth it.
+
+Also, when forking, the open context structures are duplicated, but the
+internal kernel sessions are still shared between forks, which means an
+update/close operation in one fork affects all processes using that
+session.
+
+This affects digests, especially for HMAC, where the session with the
+key hash is used as a source for subsequent operations.  At least one
+popular application does this across a fork.  Disabling digests by
+default will mitigate the problem, while still allowing the user to
+turn them on if it is safe and fast enough.

+
+In cipher_init, ignore an eventual error when closing the previous
+session.  It may have been closed by another process after a fork.
