Problem

The build-postgres and build-postgres-arm jobs are failing on every branch at the "Install Win32/Win64 OpenSSL" step with:

The system cannot execute the specified program.

slproweb.com only hosts the latest OpenSSL patch release and has rotated from 3.5.7 to 3.5.8, so Win32OpenSSL-3_5_7.exe, Win64OpenSSL-3_5_7.exe and Win64ARMOpenSSL-3_5_7.exe now return 404. The download step saves the 404 error page as *.exe, and the subsequent install step can't execute it. When build-postgres fails, the Windows build-and-test jobs are skipped.

Fix

Bump OPENSSL_VERSION from 3_5_7 to 3_5_8. Verified all three installers are currently available:

  • Win32OpenSSL-3_5_8.exe -> 200
  • Win64OpenSSL-3_5_8.exe -> 200
  • Win64ARMOpenSSL-3_5_8.exe -> 200

The single env var drives every OpenSSL URL and cache key (x86, x64, ARM64), so this one-line change covers all jobs.

Note

This is the third slproweb patch-rotation break recently (3.5.5 -> 3.5.6 -> 3.5.7 -> 3.5.8). A more durable fix would avoid pinning to slproweb's exact-patch URLs (e.g. a fallback list or a stable OpenSSL source). Worth a follow-up; this PR just unblocks CI now.

slproweb.com only hosts the latest patch release, and it has rotated from
3.5.7 to 3.5.8: Win32/Win64/Win64ARM OpenSSL-3_5_7.exe now return 404.
The download step fetches an error page, and the install step then fails
with 'The system cannot execute the specified program', breaking the
build-postgres and build-postgres-arm jobs (and skipping the Windows
build-and-test jobs) on every branch.

Bump OPENSSL_VERSION to 3_5_8, which is available for all three targets.
