Description

When rustls-ffi started, it was producing incompatible API changes in the C API at a faster rate than rustls itself, so I chose an independent versioning scheme. Now the rate of API changes in rustls has picked up, and the rate of API changes in rustls-ffi has slowed down, so it makes more sense to give them the same versioning scheme. So for instance, the next release of rustls-ffi would be 0.23.1, and it would build against rustls 0.23.1. WDYT @cpu ?
