openssl3: do not build tests by default, it takes ridiculous amount of time

Description
Could we avoid building tests for openssl3 3.3.x by default? It takes ungodly time for compilation, and that is on G5 Quad. I can only imagine how someone with a G4 curses his life now.

Replying to neverpanic:
Don't we have binaries pretty much everywhere for OpenSSL?
We do not have for 10.4 and 10.5, any arch.

Those are very old systems, which I don't support. My personal maintenance policy matches that of the project, which is (current-3;current).
I do run the tests when updating OpenSSL to new versions now, so if you want to submit a PR that disables building them, please do so in a way that disables them on old systems only, or provide a way for them to be built when the test target is executed (I believe this may be possible by changing build.target and test.target slightly).
I will not be spending time on this, so I'm going to close this as wontfix now, but I'm happy to accept pull requests.

IMO it would be useful to have it opened, just remove assignment to yourself. (The issue itself is fixable and worth fixing.)
I will look into fixing it in coming days.
