[Bug 1943530] [NEW] link libkrb5 with openssl

[Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos]

Public bug reported:

In Ubuntu we provide a cryptographic core based on a small set of
packages that we FIPS certify [0]. Applications and libraries should not
bundle their own crypto code but should use the cryptographic core to
benefit from the certification, but also importantly to reduce bugs due
to small cryptographic libraries that are not monitored for low level
crypto CVEs. This bug is to change libkrb5 to use the openssl crypto
code instead of bundling its own on the next ubuntu release.
