	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Openssl is now a virtual package, which may be provided by
	OpenSSL (now renamed to libopenssl) or LibreSSL.

	libssh2: there is now an explicit choice of the backend to use
	(mbedtls, gnutls or openssl). Previously, the choice was implicit

	choose the backend, which is important if several TLS libraries are
	selected.

	bit bigger than before. To remove unneeded MIBS, you should use a
	post-build script.

	Toolchain: Linaro toolchains updated to 2017.08, ARC toolchain
