openssl package: default to mozilla certs (#31164)
On Cray systems that use Cray Data Virtualization Service (DVS),
symlinks across filesystems are not allowed, either due to a bug, or
because they're simply not POSIX compliant [1].

Spack's OpenSSL package defaults to `certs=system` which comes down to
symlinking `/etc/ssl` in the Spack install prefix, triggering this
problem, resulting in mysterious installation failures.

Instead of relying on system certs, we can just use
`ca-certificates-mozilla`, and if users really need system certs, then
they're probably better off marking OpenSSL entirely as external.
