The output can confuse simple build testing scripts that just check
for an empty build log.

This patch silences all the output:
 - "echo" is changed to "@$(kecho)", which is dropped when "-s" gets
   passed
 - the openssl command itself is only printed with V=1, using the
   $(Q) macro
 - The output of openssl gets redircted to /dev/null on "-s" builds.
