Add instructions to link against OpenSSL 1.0 on Ubuntu

Browse Source 
When installing qutebrowser via tox on Ubuntu 18.04, the notes on linking
OpenSSL 1.0 instead of OpenSSL 1.1 to make QtNetwork SSL working are a bit
confusing, due to some path differences between Ubuntu and ArchLinux. The
addition of an item addressing this specific issue should help newcomers.

(`export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/openssl-1.0` on Archlinux) before starting
qutebrowser if you want SSL to work in certain downloads (e.g. for
`:adblock-update` or `:download`).
* On Ubuntu (tested on 18.04), you will need to install the `libssl1.0.0`
package (`apt install libssl1.0.0`). Then, in the qutebrowser git
repository, create a directory named `libssl` (`mkdir libssl`), and link
`libcrypto.so.1.0.0` and `libssl.so.1.0.0` into it without the versioning
part in their names (`ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0
libssl/libcrypto.so` and `ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0
libssl/libssl.so`). Now you can start qutebrowser issuing `export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(pwd)/libssl` beforehand.
- It comes with a QtWebEngine compiled without proprietary codec support (such
as h.264).
