I have a question here.  Most of the changes relate to the use of const
where the OpenSSL APIs require these to be so, but why is this a new
requirement for 4.0?  I can see that for most of the upstream
routines, the const changes are much older, like in 8cc86b81ac20 for
X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID() applying down to branch openssl-3.0.
