BoringSSL compatibility fixes for cpp-httplib
This fixes errors observed while building
util/http_transport_test_server/http_transport_test_server.cc, shown
below.
The fixes include:
- Library version check: tolerate BoringSSL as an alternative to
OpenSSL 3.
- Don’t call `OPENSSL_thread_stop`, which is not in BoringSSL.
- Use `SSL_get_peer_certificate` (deprecated in OpenSSL 3), the old
name for `SSL_get1_peer_certificate`, because the new name is not in
BoringSSL.
- Call `SSL_set_tlsext_host_name` directly instead of making a quirky
`SSL_ctrl` call that BoringSSL does not support. The feared
-Wold-style-cast warning that occurs when buidling with OpenSSL is
not triggered in BoringSSL.

I’m attempting to upstream these fixes: https://github.com/yhirose/cpp-httplib/pull/1892.

Ah fun. This is the first project I've seen that's dropped support for OpenSSL 1.1.1.
It'll probably be a bit before we can start claiming to be OpenSSL 3.x and adding all their APIs[*], but I'll file this away as a reason to start shifting things. (We don't like to pollute external projects with BoringSSL ifdefs and would rather add APIs as needed to reduce burden on them. It's just that that dance gets a little tricky around version bumps.)
Do let us know if you run into more of these.
[*] At least in the 1.0.x -> 1.1.x transition, one thing we learned is that you kinda need to add most of their APIs and bump the version all at once. If we add the APIs but don't bump the version, we break code that looks like this:
```
#if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < ...
// Now this doesn't compile because BoringSSL already defines some_new_api
static int some_new_api(...) { ... }
#endif
```
But if we bump the version without adding the APIs then we break code that expects the new APIs.
