RE: Fetching the detail of SSL Host verification failure

Okay. We have a demand to distinguish hostname validation error from CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION. The detail is not reported on CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT on that situation. Initial idea was to return newly defined CURLcode. Then we realized OpenSSL error codes are returned in that field with different situation. We thought the user will be confused when both errors are mixed. That's why we were going to switch to OpenSSL error code than CURLcode.
