vtls: introduce curl_global_sslset()

Let's add a compile time safe API to select an SSL backend. This
function needs to be called *before* curl_global_init(), and can be
called only once.

Side note: we do not explicitly test that it is called before
curl_global_init(), but we do verify that it is not called multiple times
(even implicitly).

If SSL is used before the function was called, it will use whatever the
CURL_SSL_BACKEND environment variable says (or default to the first
available SSL backend), and if a subsequent call to
curl_global_sslset() disagrees with the previous choice, it will fail
with CURLSSLSET_TOO_LATE.

The function also accepts an "avail" parameter to point to a (read-only)
NULL-terminated list of available backends. This comes in real handy if
an application wants to let the user choose between whatever SSL backends
the currently available libcurl has to offer: simply call

	curl_global_sslset(-1, NULL, &avail);

which will return CURLSSLSET_UNKNOWN_BACKEND and populate the avail
variable to point to the relevant information to present to the user.

Just like with the HTTP/2 push functions, we have to add the function
declaration of curl_global_sslset() function to the header file
*multi.h* because VMS and OS/400 require a stable order of functions
declared in include/curl/*.h (where the header files are sorted
alphabetically). This looks a bit funny, but it cannot be helped.

/*
* NAME curl_global_sslset()
*
* DESCRIPTION
*
* When built with multiple SSL backends, curl_global_sslset() allows to
* choose one. This function can only be called once, and it must be called
* *before* curl_global_init().
*
* The backend can be identified by the id (e.g. CURLSSLBACKEND_OPENSSL). The
* backend can also be specified via the name parameter (passing -1 as id).
* If both id and name are specified, the name will be ignored. If neither id
* nor name are specified, the function will fail with
* CURLSSLSET_UNKNOWN_BACKEND and set the "avail" pointer to the
* NULL-terminated list of available backends.
*
* Upon success, the function returns CURLSSLSET_OK.
*
* If the specified SSL backend is not available, the function returns
* CURLSSLSET_UNKNOWN_BACKEND and sets the "avail" pointer to a NULL-terminated
* list of available SSL backends.
*
* The SSL backend can be set only once. If it has already been set, a
* subsequent attempt to change it will result in a CURLSSLSET_TOO_LATE.
