Upstream openssl has dropped support for 1.0.2; see #77503 for details. This
also cleans up the old asio dependency, which now comes from boost, and
documents why the test driver fails.

All of this is a no-op change from the status quo, since doCheck = false is the default. However, I spent some time getting the test driver to at least execute and pass some tests (with above preCheck hook), and felt like it was worth documenting. A handful of tests pass, but a significant enough majority try to do something like GET https://github.com that I felt like it wasn't worth going through and patching them all out.
