Add tidyNode::getNextSibling() and tidyNode::getPreviousSibling()

These get the next and previous sibling nodes, respectively.
We can already kind of do this by using the $child array, but that's
inconvenient when actually walking the tree by only using node
instances. Since the class is final, there is no BC break here.

Closes GH-15047.

Fix GH-15094: php_random_default_engine() is not C++ conforming

Using compound literals is conforming to C99 (and up), but not with any
C++ standard. Since the code is in a public header, it might be used
by C++ extensions. Unfortunately, we cannot even used designated
initializers, because these are a C++20 feature, so we stick with
classic C/C++ code.

Closes GH-15100.

Throw error for recursive comparison, instead of fatal (#14989)

I don't understand the rationale of fatal erroring here. It seems this should
properly unprotect the compared elements when returning up the stack.

Drop support for OpenSSL < 1.1.0 on Windows

PR #13498 bumped the required OpenSSL version to 1.1.1, but apparently
only for non Windows system. We catch up somewhat by dropping support
for OpenSSL < 1.1.0 on Windows; besides completely removing detection
of old OpenSSL versions in `SETUP_OPENSSL`, we also ensure that all
bundled extension using this function do no longer accept OpenSSL <
1.1.0, to avoid to still be able to build these extensions with older
`phpize` scripts.

We do not cater to `--phar-native-ssl` yet; that might better be
addressed by #14578.

Closes GH-14973.
