Add an openssl_options main configuration option, to allow administrators to
shoot themselves in each foot in turn. The default value is chosen to avoid a change in behaviour, but since it is disabling a security countermeasure, I'd like to change the default to be "no options". Fixes: #994

+ 1. A new main configuration option, "openssl_options", is available if Exim
+ is built with SSL support provided by OpenSSL. The option allows
+ administrators to specify OpenSSL options to be used on connections;
+ typically this is to set bug compatibility features which the OpenSSL
+ developers have not enabled by default. There may be security
+ consequences for certain options, so these should not be changed
+ frivolously.
