svn diff for irc/ircd-hybrid

irc/ircd-hybrid unconditionally relies on RAND_egd which makes building fail with LibreSSL which has removed EGD. FreeBSD does not require EGD at all, /dev/random has been available since FreeBSD 4.2

Additionally, LibreSSL has moved compression methods to a separate header file that is not always included. Add openssl/conf.h to the includes.

Feedback from upstream:

Hello,

EGD support has been dropped in ircd-⁠hybrid 8.1.20 which was released
on July 20, 2014.

Also the compression issue has been fixed as well sometime last year.

Greets,
Michael

    Hi,

    ircd-⁠hybrid unconditionally uses RAND_egd which has been removed from
    LibreSSL. Additionally it uses compression which is moved to a separate
    header.

    Attached patches
    1. Use autoconf to detect availability of RAND_egd in libcrypto
    2. Disable EGD if RAND_egd is not available
    3. Add the openssl/⁠comp.h header to src/⁠rsa.c to fix build

    I've been working through over 60 build failures with LibreSSL and
    supplying FreeBSD ports and upstream projects with patches, check
    https://wiki.freebsd.org/LibreSSL and
    https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198505 for this bugs
    status in ports.

    Please include this patch into your product. Additionally please review
    completely removing EGD as no platform requires it or has required perl
    EGD as a random source fer many years.

    Kind regards,

    Bernard Spil.
