It will help if we add an internal backend crypto module (used from
libcryptolink) for environments where Botan is not available. It will
also be helpful for users who don't need any crypto related DNS
operations (no TSIG, no DNSSEC) and don't want to install Botan just
to compile BIND 10.
This should be configurable in configure.ac and should be disabled by
default. It was also suggested that if the null module is enabled a
warning message (that no TSIG or DNSSEC will be usable) be shown.
Note also that when the null module is enabled some unit tests will
fail. We'll need to work around it in some way.
