Crypt-OpenSSL-EC-1.32-Remove-never-compiled-EC_POINTs_make_affine-and-EC_P.patch [PATCH] Remove never compiled EC_POINTs_make_affine() and EC_POINTs_mul() prototypes

After upgrading ExtUtils::ParseXS from 3.51 to 3.57 Crypt-OpenSSL-EC-1.32 fails to build:

make: *** [Makefile:362: EC.c] Error 1

The problematic argument with a pointer to an array type trigger the
failure. Old ExtUtils::ParseXS parsed them, but the generated code was
an invalid C code. E.g. This XS:

int
EC_POINTs_make_affine(const EC_GROUP *group, size_t num, EC_POINT *p[], BN_CTX *ctx)

was incorrectly parsed as:

XS_EUPXS(XS_Crypt__OpenSSL__EC__EC_POINT_EC_POINTs_mul)
{
[...]
RETVAL = EC_POINTs_mul(group, r, n, num, const EC_POINT *p[], const BIGNUM *m[], ctx);

That means that ExtUtils::ParseXS never supported arrays of pointers. Now it
correctly reports na error.

On the other hand, ExtUtils::ParseXS does not understand
C preprocessor directives and does not ignore code enclosed in "#if 0"
macro condition.

This patch simply removes the two protypes.
