Pierre Pronchery b077aed33b Merge OpenSSL 3.0.9
Migrate to OpenSSL 3.0 in advance of FreeBSD 14.0.  OpenSSL 1.1.1 (the
version we were previously using) will be EOL as of 2023-09-11.

Most of the base system has already been updated for a seamless switch
to OpenSSL 3.0.  For many components we've added
`-DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L` to CFLAGS to specify the API version,
which avoids deprecation warnings from OpenSSL 3.0.  Changes have also
been made to avoid OpenSSL APIs that were already deprecated in OpenSSL
1.1.1.  The process of updating to contemporary APIs can continue after
this merge.

Additional changes are still required for libarchive and Kerberos-
related libraries or tools; workarounds will immediately follow this
commit.  Fixes are in progress in the upstream projects and will be
incorporated when those are next updated.

There are some performance regressions in benchmarks (certain tests in
`openssl speed`) and in some OpenSSL consumers in ports (e.g.  haproxy).
Investigation will continue for these.

Netflix's testing showed no functional regression and a rather small,
albeit statistically significant, increase in CPU consumption with
OpenSSL 3.0.

Thanks to ngie@ and des@ for updating base system components, to
antoine@ and bofh@ for ports exp-runs and port fixes/workarounds, and to
Netflix and everyone who tested prior to commit or contributed to this
update in other ways.

=head1 NAME
PKCS12_parse - parse a PKCS#12 structure
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/pkcs12.h>
int PKCS12_parse(PKCS12 *p12, const char *pass, EVP_PKEY **pkey, X509 **cert,
STACK_OF(X509) **ca);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
PKCS12_parse() parses a PKCS12 structure.
B<p12> is the B<PKCS12> structure to parse. B<pass> is the passphrase to use.
If successful the private key will be written to B<*pkey>, the corresponding
certificate to B<*cert> and any additional certificates to B<*ca>.
=head1 NOTES
Each of the parameters B<pkey>, B<cert>, and B<ca> can be NULL in which case
the private key, the corresponding certificate, or the additional certificates,
respectively, will be discarded.
If any of B<pkey> and B<cert> is non-NULL the variable it points to is
initialized.
If B<ca> is non-NULL and B<*ca> is NULL a new STACK will be allocated.
If B<ca> is non-NULL and B<*ca> is a valid STACK
then additional certificates are appended in the given order to B<*ca>.
The B<friendlyName> and B<localKeyID> attributes (if present) on each
certificate will be stored in the B<alias> and B<keyid> attributes of the
B<X509> structure.
The parameter B<pass> is interpreted as a string in the UTF-8 encoding. If it
is not valid UTF-8, then it is assumed to be ISO8859-1 instead.
In particular, this means that passwords in the locale character set
(or code page on Windows) must potentially be converted to UTF-8 before
use. This may include passwords from local text files, or input from
the terminal or command line. Refer to the documentation of
L<UI_OpenSSL(3)>, for example.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
PKCS12_parse() returns 1 for success and zero if an error occurred.
The error can be obtained from L<ERR_get_error(3)>
=head1 BUGS
Only a single private key and corresponding certificate is returned by this
function. More complex PKCS#12 files with multiple private keys will only
return the first match.
Only B<friendlyName> and B<localKeyID> attributes are currently stored in
certificates. Other attributes are discarded.
Attributes currently cannot be stored in the private key B<EVP_PKEY> structure.
