vtls, "virtual" TLS

Hi friends,

I'm about to move all TLS related functions into its own subdir, named vtls.
(V is for virtual, as there's no actual TLS in there but just a layer that
provides TLS functionality using one of 10 different 3rd party libraries.)

Initially this will just put these source files in a new directory, but it is
a first step toward converting vtls into an actual re-usable and independent
component for whoever wants to be able to switch between different TLS
libraries.

I'll also do some other file renames to make the file names fit better, like
putting the general vtls functionality in vtls.c and vtls.h and have each
library-specific source named after the library so ssluse.[ch] will become
openssl.[ch] etc.

This little restructuring will not make vtls work stand-alone, but it will
allow us/someone to work on making that a reality, should there be enough
interest.

Thoughts or questions?
