      .OpenSSL adds a drop-in directory for provider configuration

      The OpenSSL TLS toolkit supports provider APIs for installation and configuration of modules that provide cryptographic algorithms. With this update, you can place provider-specific configuration in separate `.conf` files in the `/etc/pki/tls/openssl.d` directory without modifying the main OpenSSL configuration file.

    Description

      We want to install 3rd-party providers and activate them in load time

      OpenSSL supports a mechanism of including files from a directory when all of the files in that directory are parsed on load and openssl is configured accordingly.

      We need to create the directory for provider configuration files on installation and add the corresponding include directive to openssl.cnf
