getinfo: CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR supersedes CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION
The two options are almost the same, except in the case of OpenSSL: CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION OpenSSL session internals is SSL_CTX *. CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR OpenSSL session internals is SSL *. For backwards compatibility we couldn't modify CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION to return an SSL pointer for OpenSSL. Also, add support for the 'internals' member to point to SSL object for the other backends axTLS, PolarSSL, Secure Channel, Secure Transport and wolfSSL.

-Pass a pointer to a 'struct curl_tlssessioninfo *'. The pointer will be
-initialized to refer to a 'struct curl_tlssessioninfo *' that will contain an
-enum indicating the SSL library used for the handshake and the respective
-internal TLS session structure of this underlying SSL library.

+was added in 7.48.0. The only reason you would use this option instead is if
+you could be using a version of libcurl earlier than 7.48.0.
-This may then be used to extract certificate information in a format
-convenient for further processing, such as manual validation. NOTE: this
-option may not be available for all SSL backends; unsupported SSL backends
-will always return NULL in the \fIinternals\fP pointer to indicate that they
-are not supported.
+This option is exactly the same as \fICURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3)\fP except in the
+case of OpenSSL. If the session \fIbackend\fP is CURLSSLBACKEND_OPENSSL the
+session \fIinternals\fP pointer varies depending on the option:
-.nf
-struct curl_tlssessioninfo {
- curl_sslbackend backend;
- void *internals;
-};
-.fi
+CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION OpenSSL session \fIinternals\fP is SSL_CTX *.

-CURLSSLBACKEND_OPENSSL, CURLSSLBACKEND_GNUTLS, CURLSSLBACKEND_NSS,
-CURLSSLBACKEND_GSKIT, CURLSSLBACKEND_POLARSSL, CURLSSLBACKEND_CYASSL,
-CURLSSLBACKEND_SCHANNEL, CURLSSLBACKEND_DARWINSSL or
-CURLSSLBACKEND_AXTLS. (Note that the OpenSSL forks are all reported as just
-OpenSSL here.)
+CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR OpenSSL session \fIinternals\fP is SSL *.

+You can obtain an SSL_CTX pointer from an SSL pointer using OpenSSL function
