Ever since the update to openssl 3.x we have been building static openssl ever so slightly incorrect. Without the no-module configuration option openssl still tries to provide some non-core modules (like the legacy provider) as a shared library. However luvi has no way to bundle this, and so ever since the update to openssl 3.x we have been unable to use any of the legacy ciphers in luvi.

This was only observable by checking the list of openssl errors, because lua-openssl attempts to load both the default and legacy providers without handling any errors.

I used the following script to ensure the provided fix actually works for the legacy provider:

local openssl = require 'openssl'

print(openssl.errors())

local ctx = openssl.cipher.get('blowfish') -- any cipher provided by legacy works here
print(ctx)

print(ctx:cipher('123', '456', '789'))

Before this fix:

Alongside fixing the static build of openssl, this also fixes the intermittent issue with lua-openssl triggering the incompatible pointer types error by silencing the warning for lua-openssl, which it does internally but only for clang.
