    Description

      The OpenSSL code in QCryptographicHash (+ a small bit in QPasswordDigestor) currently relies on dynamic loading of symbols, so is only available when Qt is built with -openssl-linked.

      Moving to a structure of loading symbols at runtime when not using -openssl-link, and loading the symbols dynamically otherwise, like in the TLS backend for QSsl enables us to use these extensively tested, and secure(-er) algorithms from OpenSSL in more configurations, most importantly: the ones we ship.
