I don't think any of these need to be backpatched, at least right now.

0001 is just a cosmetic documentation tweak, has no reason to be
backpatched.

0003 adds new functionality for LibreSSL. While the code looks
straightforward, we have little knowledge about how it works in
practice. How is the buildfarm coverage of LibreSSL (with SSL tests
enabled!)? If people are keen on this, it might be better to get it
into PG17 and at least let to go through a few months of beta testing.

0004 effectively just enhances an error message for LibreSSL; there is
little reason to backpatch this.
