ENH: Teach find_library to find OpenBSD-style libs

OpenBSD shared libraries use a ".so.<major>.<minor>" extension and do
not have a symlink with just a ".so" extension.  Its "ld" is capable of
finding the library with the best version.  This change adds support for
finding such libraries.  See issue #3470.
