OpenSSL 1.0.1 was supported until 2016-12-31. Rhel6/Centos6 still
use this version but considering that RHEL7 and RHEL8 are already
out, these versions can also stay with OpenVPN 2.4.
All the supported Debian based distributions also come with at
least 1.0.2.
We (accidently) unconditionally compiled some key exporter code on
OpenSSL 1.0.2+ without problems. So always compile the whole
key exporter feature for OpenSSL.
This also allows the tls groups commit to be applied without
adding ifdefs to disable that functionality on OpenSSL 1.0.1

doc/man: Add an .rst formatted version of the man page
This is the first step to move away from a manually editing g/nroff
encoded man page.
Some modifications was needed to ensure formatting was consistent and
rendered reasonably okay in GitHub and that the generated man page
(using rst2man) is looking as a proper man page. Unsupported options
has also been moved into its own section. HTML rendering directly
using rst2html has also been used to validate the conversion.
The rst2man and rst2html utilities comes from the python-docutils
project: https://docutils.sourceforge.io/

doc/man: Replace old man page with generated man page
The doc/openvpn.8 and doc/openvpn.8.html files are now being removed
from the git tree, as it will be generated from the doc/openvpn.8.rst
file using python-docutils.
An additional dist-hook is added so these files are generated
automatically when source tarballs are generated for releases. This
means users compiling directly from the source tarball will not need
python-docutils installed.

doc/man: Split up and reorganize main man page
The openvpn.8.rst file is quite long and hard to edit, as it covers
several hundred options. Some options were even documented multiple
places. The example has also received some attention, cleaning up
old and outdated infomration.
In this commit the main man page is split up into multiple sections
and options are sorted into each of the corresponding section.
Inside each category, each option is for now sorted alphabetically.
The main openvpn.8.rst file is currently kept unchanged and will be
handled in the next commit.
Many language improvements contributed by Richard Bonhomme has also
been incorproated.

We used to ship git submodule instructions to build a local copy of
cmocka in vendor/cmocka/ and use that (if cmake is installed) to build
unit tests. With the network test driver this turns out to be a
LD_LIBRARY_PATH vs. SUDO complication which is really outweighing the
benefit of a local build today - so, use the system-wide installation
if available (querying pgk-config). Do not build unit-tests otherwise.
v2: (inspired by patch from David Sommerseth)
introduce "configure --disable-unit-test" switch
simplify configure.ac logic
use CMOCKA_LIBS and CMOCKA_INCLUDE (set by PKG_CHECK)
v3:
repair conflict with commit 7473f32636
CMOCKA_INCLUDE is not correct, must be CMOCKA_CFLAGS (see config.status)

Linux packaging is quite a comprehensive task these days, with many
Linux distributions and each with their own packaging guidelines. In
addition OpenVPN is packaged for most important Linux distributions
already.
The OpenVPN developers is not capable of keeping track of how all the
various recommend packaging guidelines evoloves and our RPM build
process is no longer consistent with guidelines from Fedora, RHEL or
SUSE packaging. We also don't receive any updates improving this
situation. Most likely due to packaging being handled fairly well by
the Linux distributions directly.
In addition comes systemd into play, which more and more Linux
distributions embraces - and even our own RPM openvpn.spec file didn't
account for that move.
This removes all RPM related packaging files and updates the INSTALL
file with pointers to several popular Linux distributions with
accessible information of the OpenVPN packages they provide. Linux
distributions is most likely much better at keeping the packaging
up-to-shape much better than we.

There were references in our documentation to the now deprecated PolarSSL
library, which have changed name upstream to mbed TLS.
In addition, where appropriate, the documentation now considers only
mbed TLS 2.0 and newer. This is in accordance with the requirements
./configure sets.

instead of README.polarssl. This ensures make dist and buildbots

This reworks the crypto library configuration, to make it both simpler to
understand and more usable:
* Only check for OpenSSL when building against OpenSSL (and similar for
PolarSSL/mbed TLS).
* Bail out early if a problem with the library is detected.
* Set CRYPTO_{LIBS,FLAGS} immediately after the crypto library checks,
removing the need for an extra switch-case later on.
* We no longer support building openvpn with crypto but without ssl, so
we can also simplify the logic in configure.ac accordingly.
As a 'side effect' (this actually triggered me), this fixes a bug that
would cause a user-specified OPENSSL_{CRYPTO,SSL}_LIBS to be overwritten
by AC_CHECK_LIB if there are openssl headers available in the PATH.

This "feature" has been enabled since OpenVPN 2.2 without any reports that
this has been causing issues. All it does is to add an extra environment
variable 'tls_digest_{n}' with the certificate SHA1 fingerprint/digest
hash.
Lets just simplify things by removing the possibility to disable this
environment variable.
