Dual-install of libevent 1 and libevent 2 on openbsd confuses our autoconf logic

I think the problem may be that we demand header files that exist only in libevent 2, but we accept libraries that only support libevent 1... until we finally link.

Possible fix in branch bug19902_try1 in my public repository. I claim we should merge it whether it fixes the issue on openbsd or not.

See my comment and patch on #19758 (moved), sorry I wasn't aware this had a separate ticket.

The patch in that branch wouldn't work because that whole conditional is being skipped.

Sorry for the delay here -- the first half-a-dozen times I looked at this, it looked wrong to me. But now I understand: I think this should work okay.

Merged as fe9cfeba6ec96c11d009f4d57bf03f0019e34c9d. Thank you!
