   OpenSSL 3.0:
   
   Node.js now includes OpenSSL 3.0, specifically https://github.com/quictls/openssl
   which provides QUIC support.
   
   While OpenSSL 3.0 APIs should be mostly compatible with those provided
   by OpenSSL 1.1.1, we do anticipate some ecosystem impact due to
   tightened restrictions on the allowed algorithms and key sizes.
   
   If you hit an `ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED` error in your application with
   Node.js 17, it’s likely that your application or a module you’re using
   is attempting to use an algorithm or key size which is no longer allowed
   by default with OpenSSL 3.0. A command-line option,
   `--openssl-legacy-provider`, has been added to revert to the legacy
   provider as a temporary workaround for these tightened restrictions.
   
   For details about all the features in
   OpenSSL 3.0 please see https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2021/09/07/OpenSSL3.Final.

   Readline Promise API:
