gnu: openssl: Remove run-time dependency on Perl.
This shrinks the closure of OpenSSL from 154 MiB to 73 MiB. * gnu/packages/patches/openssl-c-rehash.patch: New file. * gnu-system.am (dist_patch_DATA): Add it. * gnu/packages/tls.scm (openssl)[source]: Use it. [arguments]: Add 'remove-miscellany' phase. * gnu/packages/certs.scm (nss-certs)[native-inputs]: Add PERL.

+This patch removes the explicit reference to the 'perl' binary,

+The 'c_rehash' program is seldom used, but it is used nonetheless
+to create symbolic links to certificates, for instance in the 'nss-certs'
+package.
