This partially reverts commit ad944b5 by bringing back the CI job for testing OpenSSL 1.1.1w. Despite this version being upstream EOL, the rationale for keeping it as follows:

  • It most resembles other 1.1.1-work-a-like ssl APIs supported by important vendors.
  • Python officially requires OpenSSL 1.1.1 or later, although OpenSSL 3.0 or later is recommended for cryptographic modules. Since changing the build requirements requires a transition period, we need to keep testing the allowed versions.
  • The code base still contains calls to OpenSSL functions that are deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0 as well as ifdef blocks constrained to OpenSSL 1.1.1.

(cherry picked from commit 96b7a2e)
