[Bug 1991771] [NEW] [FFe] Update to 3.0.6

[Simon Chopin]

Public bug reported:

There's an upcoming security release for OpenSSL according to
https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-users/2022-October/015477.html

The timing is somewhat unfortunate given our own release schedule.

The current version of openssl in kinetic, 3.0.5-2ubuntu1, is actually a
snapshot of the 3.0 branch ahead of 3.0.5 (inherited from Debian during
the last merge).

Sadly, they don't have a proper changelog (even partial) for the
upcoming release yet, but I'll attach the diff and shortlog between our
current version and the current state of the branch to get an idea of
what's to come. As usual for their 3.0 point releases, it's not just
security fixes but general bugfixes as well.

** Affects: openssl (Ubuntu)
     Importance: High
         Status: Confirmed

** Attachment added: "openssl.shortlog"
