[OE-core] Reasons for reverting "openssl: prevent ABI break from earlier krogoth releases" ?

[Martin Jansa]

It was applied in fido, because fido was released with old version-script
and upgrade to 1.0.2h changed the ABI.

krogoth on the other hand was released with this new ABI, so applying this
partial revert in krogoth would cause ABI changes in different revisions in
krogoth branch.

You can find a bit longer discussion about this on the ML, this is just
what I recall.
