API Release 2017.1 does not include libp4sslstub.a, so a build without OpenSSL fails.
The OpenSSL binary in CentOS 7 includes FIPS support, so the current P4Python regular expression fails to recognise it.
The latter can be worked around locally by: pip install p4python --install-option=--ssl --install-option=/usr/lib
which overrides the SSL detection. The value of the second option isn't massively important, since OpenSSL's libraries are in the standard search path here.
@22422 fixes the regex.
Per @22290, API release 2017.1 now requires OpenSSL, so the setup script probably needs further reworking to remove the p4sslstub support.
