[3.8] gh-97612: Fix shell injection in get-remote-certificate.py (GH-97613) (GH-97633)
Fix a shell code injection vulnerability in the get-remote-certificate.py example script. The script no longer uses a shell to run "openssl" commands. Issue reported and initial fix by Caleb Shortt. Remove the Windows code path to send "quit" on stdin to the "openssl s_client" command: use DEVNULL on all platforms instead. Co-authored-by: Caleb Shortt <caleb@rgauge.com> (cherry picked from commit 83a0f44ffd8b398673ae56c310cf5768d359c341) Co-authored-by: Victor Stinner <vstinner@python.org>
