openssl: make things a bit more generic

[gegles]

This removes some hardcoded names and allows for the package to be "renamed" more easily...

For example if one wanted to create a distinct openssl-fips package so as to use it in conjunction with the standard openssl package without any collision.

See #22796 for more context

Specify library name and version: openssl/3.x.x

• I've read the contributing guidelines.
• I've used a recent Conan client version close to the currently deployed.
• I've tried at least one configuration locally with the conan-center hook activated.

🤖 Beep Boop! This pull request is making changes to 'recipes/openssl//'.

👋 @Hopobcn @Croydon you might be interested. 😉

@RubenRBS any progress here?

[gegles]

@SpaceIm @RubenRBS could you approve/merge this, please?

Much appreciated!

The change here is harmless, but since the purpose is hidden and since it differs from other recipes, it might be very well, that this gets broken regularly one way or another 🤔

I hear you @Croydon, but I'm willing to take the risk.. 😉
Of course I would love for Conan Center and the community to come up with a good/better solution to the very unusual FIPS versioning requirements, but at least this would enable us to have a very trivial openssl-fips recipe alias that we can simply host locally...

@SpaceIm @RubenRBS, @Croydon could you approve/merge this, please?

Thanks @Croydon and @valgur!

@RubenRBS, could we merge this now? Thx!

@RubenRBS 🙏🏻. Thanks!

Hi @gegles, thanks for your contribution and for providing insights in #23304.

based on the details you have provided in the issue #22796 I think we can actually implement something along the lines of your initial proposal (a requires on an earlier version of itself) - which would be a lot simpler (a few lines, if I'm not mistaken), and would require no further changes - in particular, no two different recipes

If your team requires changes in Conan Center that we may not be able to merge or need further review, please consider the guidance and advice in: https://docs.conan.io/2/devops/using_conancenter.html#control-and-customization

@jcar87, that would be amazing, thanks!
Please let me know how/where I can follow that work and if there is anything I can do to test/help. Thx!

@jcar87 @RubenRBS, I think it would still make the code cleaner and less "hardcoded" to merge this in, despite the great & elegant alternaitve solution currently worked on in parallel, but if not, I am also fine closing this PR. LMK. Thx!
