[crypto] Add support for loading an alternative Engine
Add support to plug in alternative implementations for some or all of the cryptographic operations supported by the OpenSSL Engine API. When configured appropriately, OpenSSL calls the engine's implementation of these operations instead of its own.

+ <section>
+ <title>Background</title>
+ <p>
+ OpenSSL exposes an Engine API, which makes it possible to plug in alternative
+ implementations for some or all of the cryptographic operations implemented by OpenSSL.
+ When configured appropriately, OpenSSL calls the engine's implementation of these
+ operations instead of its own.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Typically, OpenSSL engines provide a hardware implementation of specific cryptographic
+ operations. The hardware implementation usually offers improved performance over its
+ software-based counterpart, which is known as cryptographic acceleration.
