[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #3404] update crypto/libressl

Yes, both do that. NetBSD's version is easier to get working on Dragonfly. I can provide a PR to move forward in that way. Porting nc to use OpenSSL, also works, just requires more effort. Think the decision is if we want TLS in `nc(1)` or not.

----------------------------------------
Currently LibreSSL in base DragonFly is stuck at 3.6.1, which is quite outdated, and while it's current use may be not that critical, having such a dated library installed is still a risk of an application is unintentionally linked against it.

One possibility would be to just upgrade LibreSSL to a newer version...

However, maybe it's worth considering to move to OpenSSL 3.5 LTS, which may be easier to keep up to date over the foreseeable future.

Having this backported to 6.4 would be a nice to have...
