obsolete (and mostly internal) routines to be compiled out.
We don't expect any reasonable software to stick to these interfaces, so better
clean up the view and unifdef -DNO_ASN1_OLD.
The astute reader will notice the existence of NO_OLD_ASN1 which serves a
similar purpose, but is more entangled. Its time will come, soon.
library expands until it has its own dlfcn wrapper, and libcrypto is no
exception.
Remove the non-dlfcn DSO methods.
This causes public DSO_METHOD_{beos,dl,vms,win32} to disappear (major bump
coming soon). Note that portable software ought to use DSO_METHOD_openssl
instead of picking the backend directly (which makes one wonder why the
backends are exposed, as it is unlikely that more than one can work on
your system).

existing RAND interfaces unchanged.
All interfaces allowing external feed or seed of the RNG (either from a file
or a local entropy gathering daemon) are kept for ABI compatibility, but are
no longer do anything.
While the OpenSSL PRNG was required 15+ years ago when many systems lacked
proper entropy collection, things have evolved and one can reasonably assume
it is better to use the kernel (system global) entropy pool rather than trying
to build one's own and having to compensate for thread scheduling...
<RANT>
Whoever thought that RAND_screen(), feeding the PRNG with the contents of the
local workstation's display, under Win32, was a smart idea, ought to be banned
from security programming.

No functional change, only there to make engineering easier, and libcrypto
sources are still found in libssl/src/crypto at the moment.
