  src/Makefile.am: Build static PKCS#11 engine library (libpkcs11.a)

As discussed in issue #551, an application may statically link against
the OpenSSL library. Consequently, using a dynamically loadable engine
may present challenges. This PR proposes modifying the build system to
enable the creation of a static PKCS11 engine library instead
(libpkcs11.a).

The library exposes the `bind_engine()` function, which allows the
application to load and register the engine directly within the
application:

	extern int bind_engine(ENGINE *e, const char *id);

Below is a sample code snippet demonstrating how to load and register
the engine:

	ENGINE *e = NULL;
	e = ENGINE_new();
	if (e == NULL) {
		error("Error creating new engine instance: %s\n",
		      ERR_reason_error_string(ERR_get_error()));
		return 0;
	}

	/* Bind the engine using the bind_engine function */
	if (!bind_engine(e, "pkcs11")) {
		error("Error binding pkcs11 engine: %s\n",
		      ERR_reason_error_string(ERR_get_error()));
		ENGINE_free(e);
		return 0;
	}
