According to the manpage for CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY, it looks like
support for various formats and implementations was phased in. In
particular, 7.44.0 picked up sha256 support (I guess for a fingerprint?
I've never used this feature) for most major implementations.

But in terms of compiling, all we care about is that the constant is
there. So I think the cutoff point you found is what we want. Presumably
when the file format isn't supported we'd get some error, though it's
not clear if that would come during the actual curl_*_perform(), or if
we should be checking the curl_easy_setopt() result.

OK. That's a bit of a departure from how we've handled variables before,
but it does make the code a bit cleaner. And I am fine with the attitude
of "if you are using ancient tools, you may see some extra warnings". We
already know this is true for older compilers, and it's not worth caring
too much about.
