[openssl-dev] libcrypto.pc needs to list libpthread as a dependency

In OpenSSL 1.1 on Linux (at least) libcrypto now has a dependency on 
libpthread but this is not reflected in the pkgconfig file. As a result, tools 
like CMake fail to detect libcrypto properly when linking against the static 
library. libpthread should be added to the Libs.private line of the pkgconfig 
file.

For example:
