Solution 1

ASN1_INTEGER and ASN1_INTEGER_set() are still present.

M_ASN1_INTEGER_new() has been removed. It was a macro and has been replaced by the function ASN1_INTEGER_new().
It seems that this is an internal function and not intended to be used by applications.

But there should be no need to create certificates programmatically. Just use the OpenSSL command line tools instead.

It is not I but users of a client/server desktop application that will need to periodically come to the application's website t periodically create a certificate for themselves. Do you think OpenSSL command line tool will be suitable for this?

I don't know your requirements but you can at least execute the tools from your application or write a shell script (which might be also executed from your application).
