Orphaning 'nss_compat_ossl'

[Ken Dreyer]

A day or two ago Ceph upstream was just discussing using this library
to support for HTTPS support in its embedded Civetweb server.
nss-compat-ossl is not in Debian/Ubuntu, but we could try to make that
happen... this announcement catches me by surprise. Is this library
essentially dead upstream? Were there issues getting other projects to
use it?
