CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_UNSAFE_RENEG ?

Hello team,

I want to put your attention to the proposed PR #11559 which would introduce
the option in the subject.

Should we or should we not add this option?

This is a boolean option that when set, allows curl built to use OpenSSL to
deal with *unsafe* TLS renegotiations.

There are legacy servers out there that insist on using unsafe renegotiations.
curl using OpenSSL 3 will exit with an error when it runs into such a server.
Unless we introduce an option for users to allow this insecure protocol
detail.

See https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/11559 for the PR.
