gh-135261: bring back CI job for testing OpenSSL 1.1.1w (#135262)

This partially reverts commit d83e30caddcbf9482273743d287577517ec735b7
by bringing back the CI job for testing OpenSSL 1.1.1w. Despite this
version being upstream EOL, the rationale for keeping it as follows:

- It most resembles other 1.1.1-work-a-like ssl APIs supported by important vendors.
- Python officially requires OpenSSL 1.1.1 or later, although OpenSSL 3.0 or later
  is recommended for cryptographic modules. Since changing the build requirements
  requires a transition period, we need to keep testing the allowed versions.
- The code base still contains calls to OpenSSL functions that are deprecated since
  OpenSSL 3.0 as well as `ifdef` blocks constrained to OpenSSL 1.1.1.
