Consider using rustls #21

By using rustls we could compile dog without requiring OpenSSL and compile using musl.

See https://github.com/osa1/tiny/issues/179 and:

Rustls vs OpenSSL: (link: https://jbp.io/2019/07/01/rustls-vs-openssl-performance.html)

15% quicker to send data
5% quicker to receive data
20-40% quicker to full handshake (client)
10% quicker to full handshake (server)
30-70% quicker to resume (client)
10-20% quicker to resume (server)
Uses <1/2 as much RAM

I'm not sure if there are any side-effects of switching away from OpenSSL, but I would at least like there to be some way to have pluggable SSL implementations, so users can make the choice for themselves when building it.

Allowing different SSL crates to be used should be possible with cargo features.
