Remove support for OpenSSL versions older than 0.9.8.

Browse Source 
OpenSSL officially only supports 1.0.1 and newer. Some OS distributions
still provide patches for 0.9.8, but anything older than that is not
interesting anymore. Let's simplify things by removing compatibility code.

Andreas Karlsson, with small changes by me.

<title>Problems with OpenSSL</title>
<para>
When you build PostgreSQL with OpenSSL support you might get
compilation errors in the following files:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><filename>src/backend/libpq/crypt.c</filename></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><filename>src/backend/libpq/password.c</filename></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><filename>src/interfaces/libpq/fe-auth.c</filename></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><filename>src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c</filename></para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
This is because of a namespace conflict between the standard
<filename>/usr/include/crypt.h</filename> header and the header
files provided by OpenSSL.
</para>
<para>
Upgrading your OpenSSL installation to version 0.9.6a fixes this
problem. Solaris 9 and above has a newer version of OpenSSL.
