Some Linux distributions patch OpenSSL's soname, making builds
on such distributions not deployable elsewhere. The problem is that
the code loading OpenSSL symbols would attempt to use the soname
of the build machine, and therefore not finding the OpenSSL
libraries on the deploy system.
The binary builds of Qt for Linux are affected by this problem,
as they build under RHEL7.4 which changes to soname of OpenSSL to
a non-standard string. This makes the binary builds not pick up
OpenSSL 1.0 from the machine where the build gets installed on.
Given that in the pre-1.1 versions only the 1.0 series is supported,
bump the minimum requirement of Qt to that. The 1.0.x releases
(up to 1.0.2, at the time of this writing) have kept binary
compatibility, and advertise a soname of "1.0.0", which is used
by most distributions.
So, if loading of OpenSSL with the build-time soname fails,
try to load them with the "1.0.0" hardcoded soname.
[ChangeLog][QtNetwork][SSL] OpenSSL >= 1.0 is now required to build
Qt with OpenSSL support.
