Fallback on deprecated SecTrustEvaluate function on macOS 10.13 and earlier

[versionbayjc]

I am trying to use truststore on Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan). Both Python 3.10 and truststore would seem to work with this combination, but it is failing to load a symbol, which seems to have been introduced in 10.14 when verifying a certificate in a HTTPS request.

Are older macOS versions really tested with the current truststore?
Please let me know what additional debug info I can provide, but here is output from a Terminal with some useful steps to check if truststore is working properly:

From this page, it seems SecTrustEvaluateWithError is available since 10.14? Or maybe I'm misreading the documentation?

@versionbayjc Thanks for opening this issue. We haven't tested with older macOS and I see what happened. To support that version of macOS we'd need to use the deprecated SecTrustEvaluate function. I'm going to edit this issue's title to reflect that.

Hellos.

I started a PR here: #156 to use the deprecated SecTrustEvaluate function.

Would love any help/pointers/testing :)

ps. AFAIK it seems this issue triggered pip dropping 10.9-10.13 support, which triggered python itself in a patch release 3.12.6 dropping support, which then caused cibuildwheel to drop support, which caused other packages to not be built with 10.9-10.13 support.
