vpnc: don't produce non-free binaries by default

As explained in vpnc's Makefile, a vpnc with OpenSSL support is
non-redistributable.  The option to enable OpenSSL support, which is
disabled by default, is even called OPENSSL_GPL_VIOLATION — something
that was conveniently hidden by the strange way the option was set in
the previous version of this package.

- `lib.assertMsg` and `lib.assertOneOf` no longer return `false` if the passed condition is `false`, `throw`ing the given error message instead (which makes the resulting error message less cluttered). This will not impact the behaviour of code using these functions as intended, namely as top-level wrapper for `assert` conditions.
