Title
wolfSSL CA-cache hit overrides callback
Summary
With the wolfSSL backend, when CA caching is enabled and an
`CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION` callback replaces the trust store, libcurl can
silently reinstall the cached store after the callback returns. A certificate
trusted by the cached store but rejected by the callback-selected store is
then incorrectly accepted.
