nixos/nextcloud: fixup openssl compat change

Upon testing the change itself I realized that it doesn't build properly
because

* the `pname` of a php extension is `php-<name>`, not `<name>`.
* calling the extension `openssl-legacy` resulted in PHP trying to compile
  `ext/openssl-legacy` which broke since it doesn't exist:

      source root is php-8.1.12
      setting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to timestamp 1666719000 of file php-8.1.12/win32/wsyslog.c
      patching sources
      cdToExtensionRootPhase
      /nix/store/48mnkga4kh84xyiqwzx8v7iv090i7z66-stdenv-linux/setup: line 1399: cd: ext/openssl-legacy: No such file or directory

I didn't encounter that one before because I was mostly interested in
having a sane behavior for everyone not using this "feature" and the
documentation around this. My findings about the behavior with turning
openssl1.1 on/off are still valid because I tested this on `master` with
manually replacing `openssl` by `openssl_1_1` in `php-packages.nix`.

To work around the issue I had to slightly modify the extension
build-system for PHP:

* The attribute `extensionName` is now relevant to determine the output
  paths (e.g. `lib/openssl.so`). This is not a behavioral change for
  existing extensions because then `extensionName==name`.

  However when specifying `extName` in `php-packages.nix` this value is
  overridden and it is made sure that the extension called `extName` NOT
  `name` (i.e. `openssl` vs `openssl-legacy`) is built and installed.

  The `name` still has to be kept to keep the legacy openssl available
  as `php.extensions.openssl-legacy`.

Additionally I implemented a small VM test to check the behavior with
server-side encryption:

* For `stateVersion` below 22.11, OpenSSL 1.1 is used (in `basic.nix`
  it's checked that OpenSSL 3 is used). With that the "default"
  behavior of the module is checked.

* It is ensured that the PHP interpreter for Nextcloud's php-fpm
  actually loads the correct openssl extension.

* It is tested that (encrypted) files remain usable when (temporarily)
  installing OpenSSL3 (of course then they're not decryptable, but on a
  rollback that should still be possible).

Finally, a few more documentation changes:

* I also mentioned the issue in `nextcloud.xml` to make sure the issue
  is at least mentioned in the manual section about Nextcloud. Not too
  much detail here, but the relevant option `enableBrokenCiphersForSSE`
  is referenced.

* I fixed a few minor wording issues to also give the full context
  (we're talking about Nextcloud; we're talking about the PHP extension
  **only**; please check if you really need this even though it's
  enabled by default).

  This is because I felt that sometimes it might be hard to understand
  what's going on when e.g. an eval-warning appears without telling where
  exactly it comes from.

This option uses OpenSSL PHP extension linked against OpenSSL 1.1 rather

it.
Server-side encryption in Nextcloud uses RC4 ciphers, a broken cipher
since ~2004.
This option enables using the OpenSSL PHP extension linked against OpenSSL 1.1
rather than latest OpenSSL ( 3), this is not recommended unless you need
it for server-side encryption (SSE). SSE uses the legacy RC4 cipher which is
considered broken for several years now. See also [RFC7465](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7465).
This cipher has been disabled in OpenSSL 3 and requires
a specific legacy profile to re-enable it.
If you upgrade to a Nextcloud using OpenSSL  3 and have
If you deploy Nextcloud using OpenSSL  3 for PHP and have
server-side encryption configured, you will not be able to access
your files anymore. Enabling this option can restore access to your files.
Upon testing we didn't encounter any data corruption when turning
this on and off again, but this cannot be guaranteed for
each Nextcloud installation.
Unless you are using external storage,
it is advised to [disable server-side encryption](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/encryption_configuration.html#disabling-encryption) as it is unclear
it provides any amount of security beyond encryption for external storage.
It is `true` by default for systems with a [](#opt-system.stateVersion) below
`22.11` to make sure that existing installations won't break on update. On newer
NixOS systems you have to explicitly enable it on your own.
Please note that this only provides additional value when using
external storage such as S3 since it's not an end-to-end encryption.
If this is not the case,
it is advised to [disable server-side encryption](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/encryption_configuration.html#disabling-encryption) and set this to `false`.
In the future, Nextcloud may move to AES-256-GCM, by then,
this option will be removed.
