Make "shared" builds the default 



In most cases we expect that people will be using shared libraries not
static ones, therefore we make that the default.

 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.1.0  [xx XXX xxxx]



  *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use

     the "no-shared" Configure option.

     [Matt Caswell]



  *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.

     All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental

     algorithms.

 Note on shared libraries

 ------------------------



 Shared libraries have certain caveats.  Binary backward compatibility

 can't be guaranteed before OpenSSL version 1.0.  The only reason to

 use them would be to conserve memory on systems where several programs

 are using OpenSSL.



 For most systems, the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to

 build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl.  On these systems,

 the shared libraries are currently not created by default, but giving

 the option "shared" will get them created.

 For most systems the OpenSSL Configure script knows what is needed to

 build shared libraries for libcrypto and libssl. On these systems

 the shared libraries will be created by default. This can be suppressed and

 only static libraries created by using the "no-shared" option. On systems

 where OpenSSL does not know how to build shared libraries the "no-shared"

 option will be forced and only static libraries will be created.
