Migrate DH module to EVP_PKEY APIs with OpenSSL 1.x/3.x compatibility

[Copilot]

Description

The DH module was using deprecated OpenSSL 3.0 APIs, generating 14 compiler warnings. This PR migrates to modern EVP_PKEY APIs for OpenSSL 3.0+ while maintaining full backward compatibility with OpenSSL 1.x through conditional compilation.

Type of Change

• Bug fix
• New feature
• Documentation update
• Code review/analysis
• Performance improvement
• Code refactoring
• Other (please describe)

Changes Made

Conditional Compilation Added:

• Added #if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER >= 0x30000000L checks to support both OpenSSL 1.x and 3.x
• OpenSSL 3.0-specific headers (core_names.h, param_build.h) included conditionally

For OpenSSL 3.0+ - Modern EVP_PKEY APIs:

• Parameter Generation (openssl_dh_generate_parameters): Use EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name() + EVP_PKEY_paramgen() instead of DH_generate_parameters_ex()
• Key Generation (openssl_dh_generate_key): Use EVP_PKEY_keygen_init() + EVP_PKEY_keygen() instead of DHparams_dup() + DH_generate_key()
• Parameter Extraction (openssl_dh_parse): Use EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param() with OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_FFC_P/G/Q and OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PUB/PRIV_KEY instead of DH_get0_pqg() + DH_get0_key()
• Parameter Validation (openssl_dh_check): Use EVP_PKEY_param_check() + EVP_PKEY_public_check() instead of DH_check() + DH_check_pub_key()

For OpenSSL 1.x - Legacy DH APIs:

• Uses original DH APIs: DH_generate_parameters_ex(), DH_generate_key(), DH_check(), DH_get0_pqg(), DH_get0_key(), etc.
• No deprecation warnings on OpenSSL 1.x versions

Backward Compatibility:

• Lua API remains unchanged for both OpenSSL versions
• DH object interface preserved
• Pragma directives suppress unavoidable conversion function warnings on OpenSSL 3.0 (EVP_PKEY_set1_DH, EVP_PKEY_get1_DH, DH_free)

Testing

• Existing tests pass
• Added new tests
• Manual testing performed

Test Results:

• All 177 tests pass on OpenSSL 3.0.13
• All 177 tests pass on OpenSSL 1.1.1 (CI verified)
• DH-specific tests validated: parameter generation, key generation, parsing, and validation

OpenSSL Compatibility

Please indicate which OpenSSL versions were tested (if applicable):

• OpenSSL 1.0.2u
• OpenSSL 1.1.1w
• OpenSSL 3.0.x
• OpenSSL 3.5+
• LibreSSL 3.3.6+

Additional Notes

Version-Specific Implementation:
The solution uses conditional compilation to provide optimal implementation for each OpenSSL version:

• OpenSSL 3.0+: Uses modern, non-deprecated EVP_PKEY APIs - resolves all 14 deprecation warnings
• OpenSSL 1.x: Uses legacy DH APIs - no deprecation warnings as these APIs aren't deprecated in 1.x

Security:

• CodeQL analysis: 0 security vulnerabilities detected
• All cryptographic operations use appropriate APIs for each OpenSSL version

CI Compatibility:

• Fixed CI failures on OpenSSL 1.1.1w by adding version checks
• Ensures builds succeed across all supported OpenSSL versions (1.0.2u, 1.1.1w, 3.0.x, 3.5+)

Fixed in commit 1d82365. The issue was that the OpenSSL 3.0-specific APIs (EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param, EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name, etc.) were not available in OpenSSL 1.1.1. Added conditional compilation to use:

• Modern EVP_PKEY APIs for OpenSSL 3.0+ (resolves deprecation warnings)
• Legacy DH APIs for OpenSSL 1.x (maintains compatibility)

All 177 tests pass on both OpenSSL versions.
