      OpenSSL introduced hostname verficiation as part of VERIFY_PEER in 1.0.2.

      We should use it over our homegrown check.

      const char *servername = NULL;
SSL *ssl = NULL;
X509_VERIFY_PARAM *param = NULL;
...

servername = "www.example.com";
ssl = SSL_new(...);
param = SSL_get0_param(ssl);

/* Enable automatic hostname checks */
X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_hostflags(param, X509_CHECK_FLAG_NO_PARTIAL_WILDCARDS);
X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host(param, servername, 0);
