OpenSSL 1.1.1 is no longer supported by https://openssl-library.org/

I think we wanted to keep supporting OpenSSL 1.1.1 for a bit longer since several Linux distributions still have it. Eg:
- RHEL 8 (and clones like AlmaLinux 8, Rocky Linux 8, etc). (paid?) support ends May 2029.
- Ubuntu LTS 18.08 and 20.04 shipped OpenSSL 1.1.1. Free support is over, but paid support is available through 2028 and 2030.
- Debian 11 shipped OpenSSL 1.1.1. Standard LTS support ends August 2026.
- SLES 15 SP2-SP5 default to OpenSSL 1.1.1. SP6-SP7 default to OpenSSL 3.x

@Mark, when do we want to drop OpenSSL 1.1.1?

Thanks,
