These changes seem quite easy and doable for a novice like me.
However the whole part about BIO seems to be much harder to fix:
https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v4.x/src/node_crypto_bio.h
https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v4.x/src/node_crypto_bio.cc

Sadly, upstream is not considering moving soon to openssl 1.1.
