[PATCH] ./configure.ac: Detect SSL in libcurl using curl-config

From: Дилян Палаузов <git-dpa@aegee.org>
Date: Jun 28, 2016, 12:04 UTC
Message-ID: <20160628120434.28105-1-git-dpa@aegee.org>

The API of libcurl does not mention Curl_ssl_init() and when curl is built with -flto, the Curl_ssl_init symbol is not exported.

https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/using/ suggests calling
  curl-config --feature | grep SSL
to see, if the installed curl has SSL support.  Another approach would
be calling curl_version_info and checking the returned struct.

This patch removes the check for the Curl_ssl_init exported symbol from libcurl and uses curl-config to detect SSL support in libcurl.
