Affected Issues 0002354: Extension manager does not load images from https servers and progress bar never reaches 100%
0002355: Build and package openssl ?
0002998: Integrate OpenSSL
Changeset

ENH: Add SSL support

Having the application interacting with services or downloading resources
served over https protocol is now required. More particularly,
it became necessary to access resources stored on Github (extension
manager - issue 0002354) or to download python packages from pip server
at run time.

The CMake option "Slicer_USE_PYTHONQT_WITH_OPENSSL" allowing to enable or
disable OpenSSL support has been introduced is set to OFF by default.

Building OpenSSL

On Windows, since Perl is required, OpenSSL binaries have been
generated and uploaded on kitware packages server. See [1]

The project allowing to re-generate the Windows OpenSSL archive is currently
hosted here [2].

On unix-like system, OpenSSL is built has part of the Superbuild. To ensure
is can be built in parallel, a patch is also applied [3].

Finally, since python is built with OpenSSL support, the python launcher
is now configured on all platform so that python can properly load the built
OpenSSL shared library when it is used to build project like numpy.

OpenSSL support in Qt, python, curl

Practically, it means that library like Qt, python, curl need to be
built with OpenSSL support.

This commit only address OpenSSL support for Python and Qt.

Curl support is not yet enabled.

For Qt OpenSSL support, Qt has to be built with the flags:
-openssl
-I /path/to/OpenSSL/include
-L /path/to/OpenSSL/lib

On unix-like system, available binaries are already OpenSSL ready, Qt
has to be explicitly built only on windows. On windows, Qt will have to
be built.

Certificates

In case X.509v3 certificates are available on the system where Slicer is
executed, a certificate bundle "Slicer.crt" is also provided. The set of
scripts allowing to generate the bundle are provided by BLFS
(Beyond Linux From Scratch).
More details in Base/QTCore/Resources/Certs/README

Application integration

The Slicer core application will load the Slicer.crt bundle if needed.

qSlicerExtensionsInstallWidget now derives from a re-usable widget
named qSlicerWebWidget.

qSlicerSslTest has been added to check that "https" connection can
be established using Qt library.
