According to the postgresql-17 requirements https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/install-requirements.html
the minimum required version of openssl is 1.0.2.
In that version, the naming convention on windows is still ssleay32.[lib|dll] and
libeay32.[lib|dll] instead of libssl.[lib|dll] and libcrypto.[lib|dll].
It changed in version 1.1.0 openssl/openssl#10332 (comment)
Thus there is a bug in meson.build as it only supports libssl.lib and libcrypto.lib,
hence a simple patch that fixes the issue and supports both conventions.
