[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] configure: Do not try to detect GnuTLS if OpenSSL was enabled

Enabling GnuTLS via auto detection could have us end up with both
libraries enabled. This won't build anymore. IIRC at some point it
did build, though it was not easy to figure out which implementation
would be used in the end.

This change is done in the light of having no auto detection for
OpenSSL and probably never will, because of the OpenSSL license.

Also Cc to mplayer-users. I hoped the original reporter of the build
problem would test it, but it seems it didn't happen. So now I am
posting it for review.

This needs some more testing, I had this in my tree for a while, but
forgot about testing it further, so I will only push after a bit more
testing. Probably in a week or so.

As explained in the commit message this change is assuming quite a
bit. I think the risk of OpenSSL auto detection being added in the
future is very low, so I feel it is worth it, because of the lower
complexity and smaller patch.

Comments welcome!
