OSSL_HTTP_parse_url(): Handle any userinfo, query, and fragment components
Now handle [http[s]://][userinfo@]host[:port][/path][?query][#frag] by optionally providing any userinfo, query, and frag components. All usages of this function, which are client-only, silently ignore userinfo and frag components, while the query component is taken as part of the path. Update and extend the unit tests and all affected documentation. Document and deprecat OCSP_parse_url(). Fixes an issue that came up when discussing FR #14001. Reviewed-by: Richard Levitte <levitte@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/14009)

+
+ #include <openssl/http.h>
+
+ int OSSL_HTTP_parse_url(const char *url,
+ int *pssl, char **puser, char **phost,
+ char **pport, int *pport_num,
+ char **ppath, char **pquery, char **pfrag);

+L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
+
+ int OCSP_parse_url(const char *url, char **phost, char **pport, char **ppath,
+ int *pssl);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+OSSL_HTTP_parse_url() parses its input string I<url> as a URL of the form
+C<[http[s]://][userinfo@]host[:port][/path][?query][#fragment]> and splits it up
+into userinfo, host, port, path, query, and fragment components
+and a flag indicating whether it begins with C<https>.
+The host component may be a DNS name or an IP address
+where IPv6 addresses should be enclosed in square brackets C<[> and C<]>.
+The port component is optional and defaults to "443" for HTTPS, else "80".
+If given, it must be in decimal form. If the I<pport_num> argument is not NULL
+the integer value of the port number is assigned to I<*pport_num> on success.
+The path component is also optional and defaults to C</>.
+If I<pssl> is not NULL, I<*pssl> is assigned 1 in case parsing was successful
+and the schema part is present and is C<https>, else 0.
+Each non-NULL result pointer argument I<puser>, I<phost>, I<pport>, I<ppath>,
+I<pquery>, and I<pfrag>, is assigned the respective url component.
+On success, they are guaranteed to contain non-NULL string pointers, else NULL.
+It is the reponsibility of the caller to free them using L<OPENSSL_free(3)>.
+If I<pquery> is NULL, any given query component is handled as part of the path.
+A string returned via I<*ppath> is guaranteed to begin with a C</> character.
+For absent userinfo, query, and fragment components an empty string is given.
+
+Calling the deprecated fucntion OCSP_parse_url(url, host, port, path, ssl) is
+equivalent to OSSL_HTTP_parse_url(url, ssl, NULL, host, port, NULL, path, NULL, NULL).

OSSL_HTTP_get() uses HTTP GET to obtain data (of any type) from the given I<url>
and returns it as a memory BIO.
+If the schema component of the I<url> is C<https> a TLS connection is requested
+and the I<bio_update_fn> parameter, described below, must be provided.
+Any userinfo and fragment components in the I<url> are ignored.
+Any query component is handled as part of the path component.
-OSSL_HTTP_get_asn1() uses HTTP GET to obtain an ASN.1-encoded value

+OSSL_HTTP_get_asn1() is like OSSL_HTTP_get() but in addition
+parses the received contents (e.g., an X.509 certificate)
+as an ASN.1 DER encoded value with the expected structure specified by I<rsp_it>
and returns it on success as a pointer to I<ASN1_VALUE>.
-OSSL_HTTP_post_asn1() uses the HTTP POST method to send a request I<req>
-with the ASN.1 structure defined in I<req_it> and the given I<content_type> to
-the given I<server> and optional I<port> and I<path>.
+OSSL_HTTP_post_asn1() is like OSSL_HTTP_get_asn1() but uses the HTTP POST method

If I<use_ssl> is nonzero a TLS connection is requested and the I<bio_update_fn>
parameter, described below, must be provided.
-The optional list I<headers> may contain additional custom HTTP header lines.
-The expected structure of the response is specified by I<rsp_it>.
-On success it returns the response as a pointer to B<ASN1_VALUE>.
