Implement multi-process OCSP responder.
With "-multi" the OCSP responder forks multiple child processes,
and respawns them as needed. This can be used as a long-running
service, not just a demo program. Therefore the index file is
automatically re-read when changed. The responder also now optionally
times out client requests.

Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
+ in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
+ spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
+ requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
+ responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
+ on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
+ as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
+ when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
+ as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
+ feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
+ after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
+ written to stderr.

*) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
Mike Hamburg.
