Those directories were located in /etc/acmed/, which is not the best
choice. According to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, they should be
located in /var/lib/acmed/.
Because systems may have different conventions, those values are now
configuration at build time.

The part of code that are specific to OpenSSL are now included only if
the openssl feature is activated. The generic parts of code included in
OpenSSL specific files has been moved out.
Currently, OpenSSL does not have the required
`EVP_PKEY_get1_ED(25519|448)` functions, hence EdDSA has been partially
implemented and disabled. Once OpenSSL 3.0.0 is out and the `openssl`
crates implements the bindings to those functions, full EdDSA
implementation could be done and activated.
Conditional compilation has been implemented using `rustc-cfg`
instructions rather than features so it can be activated from the build
script depending on whether or not the cryptographic library supports
Ed25519 and Ed448.

The PID file is now always written whether or not ACMEd is running in
the foreground. Previously, it was written only when running in the
background.
Fix#7
This project provides binaries without any link to Rust or Cargo. It is
just normal binaries that appears to be written in Rust. Therefore, it
does not makes any sense to distribute them in a Rust-specific registry.
Furthermore, such publication would not include the man pages
installation may not respect some distribution-specific policies.
As discussed in #2, ring is not mature enough to replace OpenSSL. Hence,
the standalone mode which has been made to implement such a replacement
has to be removed until ring becomes usable.
Until now, the crypto key abstraction used two different type: PublicKey
and PrivateKey. Unfortunately, it does not work with ring and should
therefore be rewrote with a single type: KeyPair.
Since it is planned to add a "standalone" feature that will replace
OpenSSL by crates not linking to any external library, it is required to
abstract all the OpenSSL specific types. This is a huge work and
therefore is divided in several steps. This first one is dedicated to
public and private keys.
rel #2
The previous system was too limited when it comes to flexibility using
hooks. This limitation came from the false idea that, for a given
certificate, all challenges must be validated with the same method. In
order to prove that false, domains in a certificate can now make use of
any challenge type available.
In order to be more flexible, hooks are now given a type and are defined
in the same registry (instead of 6). Each one will be called when
considered relevant based on its type.
AlpnError::ALERT_FATAL has been added in OpenSSL 1.1.0, hence build will
fail on any previous version. This commit allows older versions to fall
back to AlpnError::NOACK instead.
ACMEd should and will remain as simple as possible and let the user
alone take care of the challenge validation. However, this philosophy
does not forbid the project itself to distribute additional tools that
are designed to improve the user experience. Because the TLS-ALPN
ecosystem is currently very slim, adding tacd is really benefic to
ACMEd.
