OpenSSL master (to be v4.1 after the release) renamed the function
ASN1_STRING_length() to ASN1_STRING_get_length(). Map the new name to

I can see [1] that the new functions indeed exist now. But it doesn't
say anything about the old functions, they still exist and don't seem to
be deprecated. So why do we even have to switch to the new function?
