libinterimap: make SSL_verify check the hostname as well.

More precisely, ensure that the certificate Subject Alternative Name
(SAN) or Subject CommonName (CN) matches the hostname or IP literal
specified by the 'host' option.  Previously it was only verifying the
chain of trust.

This bumps the minimum Net::SSLeay version to 1.83 and OpenSSL version
1.0.2.
