Support FIPS-capable TLS by aws-lc-rs #2269

Description

@ChihweiLHBird

Motivation

libsql’s HTTP/TLS stack is built on rustls + hyper-rustls. Today that path is effectively ring-backed, which blocks deployments that need FIPS-validated cryptography.

The Rust TLS ecosystem has been moving toward aws-lc-rs for this reason:

Supporting aws-lc-rs (and ideally a documented FIPS configuration) would align libsql with that direction and unblock regulated / government workloads.

Proposal

  • Expose a crate feature (e.g. aws-lc-rs) that backs the built-in TLS connector with aws-lc-rs

I am happy to contribute a PR for this proposal if needed.

Alternatives

  • Hard switch from ring to aws-lc-rs, but this may introduce more breaking changes
