Summary: fix for SSL patch to 3.1.6

Initial Comment:
I applied the SSL patch from ftp://ftp.ccsf.org/htdig-
patches/3.1.6/ssl.9 to the VMS port, and hit the following 
showstopper:
On platforms without a /dev/u?random device 
or an EGD daemon (e.g. VMS ;-), the SSL PRNG is seeded from a file. 
For this to work, the application must call RAND_load_file() or else 
a connect fails with an "PRNG not seeded" error message (new 
behaviour since OpenSSL 0.9.5). When I insert this call into 
htlib/Connection.cc's Connection::initSSL, SSL connections do 
work.
