openssl is a build dependency. Since a few days ago, it can also
optionally be a runtime dependency to replace gnutls.

We don't depend on boost anymore.

These two dependencies are optional. I'm curious, how are optional
dependencies supposed to be handled ? package.xml seems specific to ROS,
does it need to pick a set of options that will be enabled in the
context of ROS, and then list the corresponding dependencies here ? If
so, how would libcamera be built on ROS, how are the meson configuration
option set ?
