openssl: fix sysupgrade failure with devcrypto
The bump to 3.0.8 inadvertently removed patches that are needed here,
but were not adopted upstream.  The most important one changes the
default value of the DIGESTS setting from ALL to NONE.  The absence of
this patch causes a sysupgrade failure while the engine is in use with
digests enabled.  When this happens, the system fails to boot with a
kernel panic.

Also, explicitly set DIGESTS to NONE in the provided config file, and
change the default ciphers setting to disable ECB, which has been
recommended for a long time and may cause trouble with some apps.

The config file change by itself is not enough because the config file
may be preserved during sysupgrade.

For people affected by this bug:

You can either:
1. remove, the libopenssl-devcrypto package
2. disable the engine in /etc/config/openssl;
3. change /etc/ssl/engines.cnf.d/devcrypto.cnf to set DIGESTS=NONE;
4. update libopenssl-devcrypto to >=3.0.8-3

However, after doing any of the above, **you must reboot the device
before running sysupgrade** to ensure no running application is using
the engine.  Running `/etc/init.d/openssl restart` is not enough.

Subject: e_devcrypto: default to not use digests in engine
Digests are almost always slower when using /dev/crypto because of the
cost of the context switches. Only for large blocks it is worth it.
Also, when forking, the open context structures are duplicated, but the
internal kernel sessions are still shared between forks, which means an
update/close operation in one fork affects all processes using that
session.
This affects digests, especially for HMAC, where the session with the
key hash is used as a source for subsequent operations. At least one
popular application does this across a fork. Disabling digests by
default will mitigate the problem, while still allowing the user to
turn them on if it is safe and fast enough.
