This PR adds support for using the aws-lc backend instead of openssl.

aws-lc is widely adopted across the Rust ecosystem and is generally preferred over openssl. It also provides a FIPS-compliant variant. This PR does not add FIPS support yet, as doing so requires a small change to the main librdkafka C codebase - confluentinc/librdkafka#5552

The implementation relies on the aws-lc-sys crate for the build process, so it does not introduce any additional system dependencies.

The only remaining blocker is support in aws-lc for exporting the required variables:
aws/aws-lc-rs#1187
