OpenSSL 1.1.0j version checking bug in configure.ac [PATCH]

[Filipp Gunbin]

Hi, I've just found this issue - brackets are eaten by Autoconf.
Quadrigraphs [1] may be used instead. This way configure produces
correct error.

That's the sort of solution from somebody who has read the manual
but hasn't seen many actual autoconf scripts. :-)

Normally you just use [[ ]]:

+ 101000[[0123456]]*)

Thanks - I've committed this (with naddy@'s tweak) to both the master
and V_7_9 stable branches.
