[Buildroot] [PATCH 01/23] linux: add BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_NEEDS_HOST_OPENSSL

[Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@bootlin.com>]

Some Linux kernel configuration options (such as
CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING) require building a host program called
extract-cert, which itself needs OpenSSL.

Users having OpenSSL installed on their system won't see a problem,
but users who don't have OpenSSL installed will get a build
failure. This commit adds a new option that allows users to indicate
that their Linux configuration requires building host-openssl.
