The current openssl checks assembler version only x86_64 or ia32
target arch for use of AES-NI, AVX and AVX2.
This requires --openssl-no-asm option during configure when an older
assembler version is found only on x86_64 or ia32.

Instead of automatically falling back to openssl_no_asm with warning
if no nasm is found during build on Windows, this stops vcbuild.bat

OpenSSL-1.1.0 requires the nasm assembler for building asm files on
Windows. This finds nasm at \Program Files\NASM\nasm.exe or

- For Windows, nasm is new build requirements and openssl_no_asm is
set to 1 with warning if it is not installed.
- For use of openssl assemble codes, either gas_version >= 2.23,
xcode_version >= 5.0 ,llvm_version >= 3.3 or nasm_version >= 2.10 is
needed. Otherwise, openssl_no_asm is set to 1 with warning.
- FIPS is not supported in OpenSSL-1.1.0 so that it leads an error
when openssl_fips options is enabled in configure.

* The listed required components are insufficient. VS2017 also needs

* Installing the workload with the default optional components takes up
only about 1GB more space than the minimal set of components, but

This will allow the potential to leverage new instructions
and optimizations going forward. We have spoken to the
AIX team and they agree this makes sense. Earlier processor
levels will continue to be supported for version 4.x and 6.x
