[Bug 1018522] [NEW] Enable optimized 64bit elliptic curve code contributed by Google

[cc]

Public bug reported:

This is to turn on the code contributed by Google for optimized 64bit
implementations of elliptic curves.

>From the OpenSSL changelog, http://www.openssl.org/news/changelog.html

Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
     line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
     "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:

So it really is as simple as enabling an additional compile flag.

** Affects: openssl (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
