Commit a70e01d4306fdbcd retired support for OpenSSL 1.0.2 in order to get rid of the need for manual initialization of the library. This left our API usage compatible with 1.1.0 which was defined as the minimum required version. Also mention that 3.4 is the minimum version required when using LibreSSL. An upcoming commit will introduce support for configuring TLSv1.3 cipher suites which require an API call in OpenSSL 1.1.1 and onwards. In order to support this setting this commit will set v1.1.1 as the new minimum required version. The version-specific call for randomness init added in commit c3333dbc0c0 is removed as it's no longer needed.

libpgport
=========
libpgport must have special behavior. It supplies functions to both
libraries and applications. However, there are two complexities:
1) Libraries need to use object files that are compiled with exactly
the same flags as the library. libpgport might not use the same flags,
so it is necessary to recompile the object files for individual
libraries. This is done by removing -lpgport from the link line:
# Need to recompile any libpgport object files
LIBS := $(filter-out -lpgport, $(LIBS))
and adding infrastructure to recompile the object files:
OBJS= execute.o typename.o descriptor.o data.o error.o prepare.o memory.o \
connect.o misc.o path.o exec.o \
$(filter strlcat.o, $(LIBOBJS))
The problem is that there is no testing of which object files need to be
added, but missing functions usually show up when linking user
applications.
2) For applications, we use -lpgport before -lpq, so the static files
from libpgport are linked first. This avoids having applications
dependent on symbols that are _used_ by libpq, but not intended to be
exported by libpq. libpq's libpgport usage changes over time, so such a
dependency is a problem. Windows, Linux, and macOS use an export
list to control the symbols exported by libpq.
