 Offshoot of #16034.

 tor should error out at build time (and possibly runtime if we can easily
 detect it) if elliptic curve cryptography is not available (or the ECDHE
 suites we want to use are not available).

 `OPENSSL_NO_EC` is the define for the former, and ECC support is available
 in any version of OpenSSL that we want to support (>= 1.0.0).  I think the
 only people that ship OpenSSL without all the curves available are RedHat
 (but at least they have some curves now, as opposed to none).  I'm
 personally ok with breaking builds on such systems if they don't give us
 all the curves we want.
