It turned out the OpenSSL related test failure when I first tried this
on 'master' was due to recently expired TLS certificates, and not
due to a difference in OpenSSL version on 'core-updates'.

So I pushed another patch to disable tests that require valid TLS
certificates (it also caused the current Node package to FTBFS), and
then the Node LTS patch to 'master'.

Thanks for the review!
