Patch file for wolfSSL support

This patch adds the enable option `--with-wolfssl` and define `HAVE_WOLFSSL` for linking to the wolfSSL library in Apache httpd 2.4.x. 

To enable wolfSSL support for Apache httpd, configure wolfSSL with `--enable-apachehttpd`.

To build Apache with wolfSSL, first apply the patch:
svn patch wolfssl_apache_patch.diff

Then configure with `--enable-ssl --with-wolfssl[=DIR]`. The default directory for wolfSSL is /usr/local/include. 

wolfSSL is an open source SSL/TLS library with an emphasis on speed, size, portability, features, and standards compliance. 

wolfSSL provides an OpenSSL compatibility layer, which is a series of commonly used and essential API for transitioning from OpenSSL to wolfSSL. The function names are redefined as wolfSSL API, which have similar signatures and output to their OpenSSL counterparts. We’ve recently expanded our compatibility layer to include additional API for Apache web server support.

Several advantages of wolfSSL include FIPS 140-2 validation, highly tested, provides support for lots of hardware cryptography, and supports TLS 1.3.
