FIPS packages: Use system libgcrypt
What does this MR do?
FIPS packages should use the system libgcrypt. The only Omnibus component using requiring libgcrypt is gnupg.
System library comparability
libgrcypt
All FIPS Omnibus packages now use the system libgcrypt to build gnupg. The minimum libgcrypt version to build gnupg is defined at https://github.com/gpg/gnupg/blob/gnupg-2.2.41/configure.ac#L60.
libgpg-error
The libgcrypt package depends on libgpg-error.
Omnibus does continue to not use the system libgpg-error library and keeps using a bundled libgpg-error in all package variants. This is done because system package of some OSes is to old to compile current versions of gnupg.
AmazonLinux 2 FIPS
AmazonLinux2 FIPS packages will keep using the bundled libgcrypt instead of the system libgcrypt because of compatibility reasons.
This will be documented in gitlab!174666 (merged).
Change in runtime dependencies
- rpm FIPS package now declare
libgcryptas a dependency. - apt FIPS packages now declare
libgcrypt20as a dependency.

Test Plan
Install an FIPS package and confirm gnupg is linked against the system libgrcypt:
$ ldd /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/gpg | grep libgcrypt
TBD
$ /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/gpg --version | head -n1
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.41
Compared to a non-FIPS package:
$ ldd /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/gpg | grep libg
libgcrypt.so.20 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.so.20 (0x00007f3fed6c7000)
libgpg-error.so.0 => /opt/gitlab/embedded/lib/libgpg-error.so.0 (0x00007f3fed686000)
$ /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/gpg --version | head -n1
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.41
