[Buildroot] [PATCH 19/21] openssl: bump to 1.0.0a

[Martin Banky]

Marcus,
     I've done some research, and have not found any issues with openssl
1.0.0.a not being compatible with any packages. If anyone knows of one,
please let me know. Note: openssl 1.0.0a is not necessarily binary
compatible to openssl 0.9.8o, but it is api compatible.
