Fixed in v3, with a large hammer (configure-time checks). Hopefully
I've missed a simpler solution.

Done. sslrootcert=system now prevents you from explicitly setting a
weaker sslmode, to try to cement it as a Do What I Mean sort of
feature. If you need something weird then you can still jump through
the hoops by setting sslrootcert to a real file, same as today.
The macOS/OpenSSL 3.0.0 failure is still unfixed.
