Subject: [PATCH] fix(build): remove OpenSSL dependency to prevent build
 failures

This fixes issue #271 where cargo build fails due to openssl-sys dependency
being pulled in even though the project uses rustls-tls for all TLS connections.

**Problem:**
- The Dockerfile installed `libssl-dev` in the builder stage
- This caused `openssl-sys` to be activated as a dependency
- Users without OpenSSL installed would get build failures:
  ```
  error: failed to run custom build command for openssl-sys v0.9.111
  Could not find directory of OpenSSL installation
  ```

**Solution:**
- Remove `libssl-dev` from Dockerfile build dependencies
- ZeroClaw uses `rustls-tls` exclusively for all TLS connections:
  - reqwest: `features = ["rustls-tls"]`
  - lettre: `features = ["rustls-tls"]`
  - tokio-tungstenite: `features = ["rustls-tls-webpki-roots"]`

**Benefits:**
- Smaller Docker images (no OpenSSL headers/libs needed)
- Faster builds (fewer dependencies to compile)
- Consistent builds regardless of system OpenSSL availability
- True pure-Rust TLS stack without C dependencies

**Affected platforms:**
- Users without OpenSSL dev packages can now build directly
- Docker builds are more portable and reproducible
- Binary distributions don't depend on system OpenSSL version

All tests pass.
