Although the type isn't documented you may have users who figured out
it's a pointer to CTX on their own. It may be better to append a pointer
to the structure and then document that as well.

struct curl_tlsinfo {
   curl_ssl_backend ssl_backend;
   void *internals;
   /* This field was added in 7.43.0 */
   void *extras[10];
};

document extras and have them test against version
document for openssl extras[0] is handle

/* check if the array of extra pointers is available */
if(curl_version_info(CURLVERSION_NOW)->version_num >= 0x072B00) {
   /* check if the openssl handle is available */
   if(t->extras[0]) {
     /* access openssl handle */
   }
}
