*) configure: Update selection of modules for 'all' and 'most'. 'all' will
now enable all modules except for example and test modules. Make the
selection for 'most' more useful (including ssl and proxy). Both 'all'
and 'most' will now disable modules if dependencies are missing instead
of aborting. If a specific module is requested with --enable-XXX=yes,
missing dependencies will still cause configure to exit with an error.
