Fixes #157755.

The OpenSSL API checks put LIBS before OPENSSL_LIBS and LIBCRYPTO_LIBS. With static OpenSSL, this can place its dependencies before the libraries that reference them and incorrectly mark _ssl and _hashlib as missing.

Place the OpenSSL libraries before LIBS, matching the existing AX_CHECK_OPENSSL check. Regenerate configure with Autoconf 2.72 and add a NEWS entry.

For example, with zlib-enabled static OpenSSL and libz.a supplied through LIBS, the initial OpenSSL link check succeeds but both API checks fail with unresolved zlib symbols. Both checks pass after this change with identical configure arguments. Reproduction details are in the linked issue.
