We could make the same change for charon (actually setting it for charon
in strongswan.conf.testing would work for charon-systemd too), however,
there are dozens of test cases that currently set charondebug in
ipsec.conf.
aacf84d837 ("testing: Add expect-connection calls for all tests and
hosts") removed the expect-connection call for the non-existing aaa
connection. However, because the credentials were loaded asynchronously
via start-script the clients might have been connecting when the secrets
were not yet loaded. As `swanctl --load-creds` is a synchronous call
this change avoids that issue without having to add a sleep or failing
expect-connection call.
Some fetcher plugins (such as curl) might build upon OpenSSL to implement
HTTPS fetching. As we set (and can't unset) threading callbacks in our
openssl plugin, we must ensure that OpenSSL functions don't get called after
openssl plugin unloading.
We achieve that by loading curl and all other fetcher plugins after the base
crypto plugins, including openssl.
