TLS: remove support for Secure Transport and BearSSL
These libraries do not support TLS 1.3 and have been marked for removal
for over a year. We want to help users select a TLS dependency that is
future-proof and reliable, and not supporting TLS 1.3 in 2025 does not
infer confidence. Users who build libcurl are likely to be served better
and get something more future-proof with a TLS library that supports
1.3.

--proxy-cert-type

Set type of the provided client certificate when using HTTPS proxy. PEM, DER, ENG, PROV and P12 are recognized types.

The default type depends on the TLS backend and is usually PEM. For Schannel it is P12. If --proxy-cert is a pkcs11: URI then ENG or PROV is the default type (depending on OpenSSL version).

Equivalent to --cert-type but used in HTTPS proxy context.
