Is it OK to use the OPENSSL_TLS_SECURITY_LEVEL macro to detect the
existence of security levels and conditionally compile code to set
the default security level back to zero?
#ifdef OPENSSL_TLS_SECURITY_LEVEL
/* Backwards compatible security as a base for opportunistic TLS. */
SSL_CTX_set_security_level(client_ctx, 0);
#endif
Is there some other macro that is better for this?
