commit    36f49be80856ee46a5ff39c5dc8a7418df63be3d
Author:   Daniel Gustafsson <dgustafsson@postgresql.org>
Date:     Fri Apr 14 08:15:50 2023 +0000
First released in: 16.0, 11.20, 12.15, 13.11, 14.8, 15.3

    doc: PQinitOpenSSL and PQinitSSL are obsolete in OpenSSL 1.1.0+
    
    Starting with OpenSSL 1.1.0 there is no need to call PQinitOpenSSL
    or PQinitSSL to avoid duplicate initialization of OpenSSL.  Add a
    note to the documentation to explain this.
    
    Backpatch to all supported versions as older OpenSSL versions are
    equally likely to be used for all branches.
