Omar Polo 86693a33ab add a privsep crypto engine
Incorporate the OpenSMTPD' privsep crypto engine.  The idea behind
it is to never load the certificate' private keys in a networked
process, instead they are loaded in a separate process (the `crypto'
one) which signs payloads on the behalf of the server processes.
This way, we greatly reduce the risk of leaking the certificate'
private key should the server process be compromised.

This currently compiles only on LibreSSL (portable fix is in the
way).

Omar Polo c26f2460e4 rework the daemon to do fork+exec
It uses the 'common' proc.c from various OpenBSD-daemons.

gmid grew organically bit by bit and it was also the first place where I
tried to implement privsep.  It wasn't done very well, in fact the
parent process (that retains root privileges) just fork()s a generation
of servers, all sharing *exactly* the same address space.  No good!

Now, we fork() and re-exec() ourselves, so that each process has a fresh
address space.

Some features (require client ca for example) are temporarly disabled,
will be fixed in subsequent commits.  The "ge" program is also
temporarly disabled as it needs tweaks to do privsep too.
