Invalid Binary Target for OpenSSL V3 on CentOS Stream 9

See original GitHub issue

Bug description

Prisma CLI fails to initialize when deploying a new or existing project to a CentOS Stream 9 server. The error references an unknown binary target for openssl 3.0.x.

# npx prisma init
  prisma:engines binaries to download libquery-engine, migration-engine, introspection-engine, prisma-fmt +0ms
  prisma:download file /root/hello-prisma/node_modules/@prisma/engines/libquery_engine-rhel-openssl-3.0.x.so.node does not exist and must be downloaded +0ms
Error: Error: Unknown binaryTarget rhel-openssl-3.0.x and no custom binaries were provided

The same error is received when trying to initialize the new project directory or generating artifacts (prisma client) from an existing project.

OpenSSL v3.0.1 is confirmed to be installed.

# openssl version
OpenSSL 3.0.1 14 Dec 2021 (Library: OpenSSL 3.0.1 14 Dec 2021)
# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Stream release 9

Running npx prisma completes successfully and shows help output.

How to reproduce

Start with an updated CentOS Stream 9 server with Node installed.
Create a new project. mkdir hello-prisma
Enter the directory. cd hello-prisma
Initialize the project. npm init -y
Install prisma. npm install prisma --save-dev
Test prisma to make sure it is working. npx prisma
Initialize prisma. npx prisma init
The error is now received.

Expected behavior

Prisma CLI should work as expected correctly generate the project files.

Prisma information

N/A as the error prevents a project from getting this far.

Environment & setup

OS: CentOS Stream 9
Database: MySQL
Node.js version: v16.10.0

Prisma Version

Prisma version flag fails to complete. I can confirm prisma was installed from NPM as detailed in the quickstart.
