Pourdriere produces faulty build results due to bsd.openssl.mk bug

I found that packages produced by poudriere likely link with base
openssl, while port make likely links with the port openssl.
This is because of the lines in bsd.openssl.mk which check for the
presence of openssl shared library and headers under PREFIX, and set
WITH_OPENSSL_BASE when they aren't present. In case of port make files
are likely present, and in case of poudriere build files are likely not
present.
Example is ftp/curl (with GSSAPI=NONE, OPENSSL=yes options). *Poudriere
produces curl library, that causes VirtualBox to break* due to the
openssl base vs. port conflicts. See recent emulation@ ML threads. Port
make produces curl library that works fine with VirtualBox.
I think both WITH_OPENSSL_BASE and WITH_OPENSSL_PORT should be retired,
and code checking file presence also should be removed, and all ports
should be made to build with an openssl port instead. Ports should never
use base OpenSSL.
Only <100 ports touch WITH_OPENSSL_... variables. Somebody who is able
to make such decisions and has the commit bit should bit should look
into this. Otherwise, massively faulty package repositories are produces.
