Subject: [PATCH] fix: Changed OpenSSL check inside configure.am

In OpenSSL 1.1.0 the `EVP_MD_CTX_create()` and `EVP_MD_CTX_destroy()`
functions were renamed to `EVP_MD_CTX_new()` and `EVP_MD_CTX_free()`.
Because a check for `EVP_MD_CTX_create()` was in place inside
configure.am, building with newer OpenSSL versions could not be done.

Checking for `EVP_MD_CTX_create` function from configure.am was
replaced with a check for `CRYPTO_new_ex_data()` function.

Because a [compatibility layer][1] was introduced in OpenSSL 1.1.0,
no code changes are necessary.

Fixes: #203
