"Require" OpenSSL 1.1.1 and tolerate/warn 1.0.2.
OpenSSL 1.0.2 is EOL since end of 2019, so warn if it is to be used at configure and compile time. The assumption is that 1.0.2 may still be in use by maintainers that backport security fixes. Also warn, at configure time, about "OpenSSL" API-compatible libraries that do not declare TLS1_3_VERSION.

The bullet points below mention a few useful hints for package(r)s:
-- Fetchmail requires a somewhat recent OpenSSL v1.0.2.
+- Fetchmail requires OpenSSL v1.1.1. Fetchmail 6.4 tolerates 1.0.2 for now
+ but assumes the distributor backports security fixes for it.
- Fetchmail now uses automake and supports all common automake targets and
overrides such as "make install-strip" or "DESTDIR=..." for staging areas.
