getinfo: CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR supersedes CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION

The two options are almost the same, except in the case of OpenSSL:

CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION OpenSSL session internals is SSL_CTX *.

CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR OpenSSL session internals is SSL *.

For backwards compatibility we couldn't modify CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION to
return an SSL pointer for OpenSSL.

Also, add support for the 'internals' member to point to SSL object for
the other backends axTLS, PolarSSL, Secure Channel, Secure Transport and
wolfSSL.

.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a 'struct curl_tlssessioninfo *'. The pointer will be
initialized to refer to a 'struct curl_tlssessioninfo *' that will contain an
enum indicating the SSL library used for the handshake and the respective
internal TLS session structure of this underlying SSL library.
\fBThis option has been superseded\fP by \fICURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3)\fP which
was added in 7.48.0. The only reason you would use this option instead is if
you could be using a version of libcurl earlier than 7.48.0.
This may then be used to extract certificate information in a format
convenient for further processing, such as manual validation. NOTE: this
option may not be available for all SSL backends; unsupported SSL backends
will always return NULL in the \fIinternals\fP pointer to indicate that they
are not supported.
This option is exactly the same as \fICURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3)\fP except in the
case of OpenSSL. If the session \fIbackend\fP is CURLSSLBACKEND_OPENSSL the
session \fIinternals\fP pointer varies depending on the option:
.nf
struct curl_tlssessioninfo {
curl_sslbackend backend;
void *internals;
};
.fi
CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION OpenSSL session \fIinternals\fP is SSL_CTX *.
The \fIbackend\fP struct member is one of the defines in the CURLSSLBACKEND_*
series: CURLSSLBACKEND_NONE (when built without TLS support),
CURLSSLBACKEND_OPENSSL, CURLSSLBACKEND_GNUTLS, CURLSSLBACKEND_NSS,
CURLSSLBACKEND_GSKIT, CURLSSLBACKEND_POLARSSL, CURLSSLBACKEND_CYASSL,
CURLSSLBACKEND_SCHANNEL, CURLSSLBACKEND_DARWINSSL or
CURLSSLBACKEND_AXTLS. (Note that the OpenSSL forks are all reported as just
OpenSSL here.)
CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR OpenSSL session \fIinternals\fP is SSL *.
The \fIinternals\fP struct member will point to a TLS library specific pointer
with the following underlying types:
.RS
.IP OpenSSL
SSL_CTX *
.IP GnuTLS
gnutls_session_t
.IP NSS
PRFileDesc *
.IP gskit
gsk_handle
.RE
You can obtain an SSL_CTX pointer from an SSL pointer using OpenSSL function
SSL_get_SSL_CTX. Therefore unless you need compatibility with older versions of
libcurl use \fICURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3)\fP. Refer to that document for more
information.

.SH NAME
CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION, CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR \- get TLS session info
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR,
struct curl_tlssessioninfo **session);
/* if you need compatibility with libcurl < 7.48.0 use
CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION instead: */
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION,
struct curl_tlssessioninfo **session);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a 'struct curl_tlssessioninfo *'. The pointer will be
initialized to refer to a 'struct curl_tlssessioninfo *' that will contain an
enum indicating the SSL library used for the handshake and a pointer to the
respective internal TLS session structure of this underlying SSL library.
This may then be used to extract certificate information in a format
convenient for further processing, such as manual validation. NOTE: this
option may not be available for all SSL backends; unsupported SSL backends
will always return NULL in the \fIinternals\fP pointer to indicate that they
are not supported.
.nf
struct curl_tlssessioninfo {
curl_sslbackend backend;
void *internals;
};

The \fIbackend\fP struct member is one of the defines in the CURLSSLBACKEND_*
series: CURLSSLBACKEND_NONE (when built without TLS support),
CURLSSLBACKEND_OPENSSL, CURLSSLBACKEND_GNUTLS, CURLSSLBACKEND_NSS,
CURLSSLBACKEND_GSKIT, CURLSSLBACKEND_POLARSSL, CURLSSLBACKEND_CYASSL,
CURLSSLBACKEND_SCHANNEL, CURLSSLBACKEND_DARWINSSL or
CURLSSLBACKEND_AXTLS. (Note that the OpenSSL forks are all reported as just
OpenSSL here.)
The \fIinternals\fP struct member will point to a TLS library specific pointer
for the active ("in use") SSL connection, with the following underlying types:
.RS
.IP GnuTLS
gnutls_session_t
.IP gskit
gsk_handle
.IP NSS
PRFileDesc *
.IP OpenSSL
CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION: SSL_CTX *
CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR: SSL *
.RE
Since 7.48.0 the \fIinternals\fP member can point to these other SSL backends
as well:
.RS
.IP axTLS
SSL *
.IP PolarSSL
ssl_session *
.IP Secure Channel ("WinSSL")
CtxtHandle *
.IP Secure Transport ("DarwinSSL")
