I'm in favor of moving openssl-1.0 to guix-past, it's the perfect type
of package to go there. Upstream has declared it dead and no one is
going to touch it. Similar to how qt-4 moved there a few months ago.

ADB and fastboot are still useful, and (ignoring some networking options
they apparently have) are localhost only. I'd rather leave them both for
now with an eye to shoehorning in an updated version somehow, hiding
openssl-1.0, and adding a note to remove it as soon as nothing needs it
anymore.
