"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.
