HLS plugin only supports above three crypto backends. If user hasn't 
specified which backend to use then build system tries find nettle or 
libgcrypt or openssl in order. If none of the backend is available then 
HLS plugin gets disabled internally.

Automatically selecting the backend based on which crypto packages are 
available, will work only if atleast one of supported crypto packages 
are selected already. If none of the supported packages are available, 
then we may need to add dependency on one of those crypto packages in 
.mk without selecting them in Config.in. That looks like broken dependency ?
