Description
I'm trying to implement the function I mentioned in https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-users/2018-July/008273.html
However for parity with ssl_verify_cert_chain I need to be able to access the callback set with SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback API and the ssl_verify_cert_chain path, then review the linked openssl-users discussion for the parity requirement. Identify where the callback is stored and how public SSL_CTX accessors are organized. Done means a getter provides the callback needed by the requested implementation and has matching project coverage.
