imap-send is currently the only user of this stuff; I believe this
would pull in these library dependencies for all builtins.

If we don't mind a new file, something like git-compat-crypto.h could
be a nice place to tuck all these #ifdefs away.  If we had another
command that needed these then it'd be a easier to justify a new file.

A test-crypto command in the test suite could be written to verify
that the implementations work as advertised.  That counts as "another
command", albeit an internal one.  I don't believe imap-send has any
test coverage so pulling this stuff out would help make it more
testable, which is a net win.  Libifying might be a little premature,
though.

Thoughts?
