musl shouldn't do too much crypto experiments, but select
something that's reasonable and already available
(i wouldn't do musl specific crypto api)
(at some point it may be reasonable to provide alternative
apis for things that are broken in posix or just missing
but those should go into a separate lib and we are not there
yet)
