[PATCH for-4.8] tools/configure: Drop -lcrypto search

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@citrix.com>]

This seems to be looking for a function MD5.  But nothing uses it.
The build works fine if this is disabled and libcrypto is not
installed.

This check was first introduced in 68a3e1e87325 "[TOOLS] Add more
checks for devel packages." in 2006.  At that time -lcrypto was used
by tools/blktap/ and tools/vtpm_manager/, which are both gone now.
