Build Windows releases with openssl; automate external libraries
External libraries for Windows are now built automatically in the qpdf/external-libs repository and include openssl in addition to zlib and jpeg. Use these, and update the Windows build to build with the openssl crypto provider by default. We leave the native crypto provider enabled in case there is a problem with openssl and also to continue to exercise that code.

the distribution directory. You can also pass -e SKIP_TESTS=1
