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.

# NAME
CURLOPT_CAINFO_BLOB - Certificate Authority (CA) bundle in PEM format
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CAINFO_BLOB,
struct curl_blob *stblob);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a curl_blob structure, which contains information (pointer
and size) about a memory block with binary data of PEM encoded content holding
one or more certificates to verify the HTTPS server with.
If the blob is initialized with the flags member of struct curl_blob set to
CURL_BLOB_COPY, the application does not have to keep the buffer around after
setting this.
If CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3) is zero and you avoid verifying the
server's certificate, CURLOPT_CAINFO_BLOB(3) is not needed.
This option overrides CURLOPT_CAINFO(3).
# DEFAULT
NULL
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
#include <string.h>
int main(void)
{
char *strpem = "PEMDATA"; /* strpem must point to a PEM string */
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
struct curl_blob blob;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
blob.data = strpem;
blob.len = strlen(strpem);
blob.flags = CURL_BLOB_COPY;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO_BLOB, &blob);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}

# HISTORY
This option is supported by the mbedTLS (since 7.81.0), Rustls (since 7.82.0),
wolfSSL (since 8.2.0), OpenSSL and Schannel backends.
# %AVAILABILITY%
# RETURN VALUE
curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see
libcurl-errors(3).
