httping: new package

From: Gilles Talis <[email protected]>

Httping is like 'ping' but for http-requests.
Give it an url, and it'll show you how long it takes to connect, send a request and retrieve the reply (only the headers)

Thanks, committed with minor changes (see below).

gilles> + Adds openSSL support to httping

We normally automatically add openssl support if the openssl package is enabled, so I've dropped this option.

gilles> +
gilles> +config BR2_PACKAGE_HTTPING_TFO
gilles> + bool "TCP Fast Open (TFO) support"

The TFO option seems to add very little overhead, so I think we could have just always enabled it, but OK.

We normally indent the lines inside defines with <tabs> to be consistent with make rules. I've cleaned this up a bit while changing the openssl handling.

Upstream has a working 'make install', so I changed it to use that instead.
