Use legacy mode of operation and automatically load the legacy provider.
If OpenSSL is not installed system-wide,
it is necessary to also use, for example, C<-provider-path ./providers>
or to set the environment variable B<OPENSSL_MODULES>
to point to the directory where the providers can be found.
In the legacy mode, the default algorithm for certificate encryption
is RC2_CBC or 3DES_CBC depending on whether the RC2 cipher is enabled
in the build. The default algorithm for private key encryption is 3DES_CBC.
