Normalize SNI hostname handling for SSL and SSL_SESSION
In particular, adhere to the rule that we must not modify any property of an SSL_SESSION object once it is (or might be) in a session cache. Such modifications are thread-unsafe and have been observed to cause crashes at runtime. To effect this change, standardize on the property that SSL_SESSION->ext.hostname is set only when that SNI value has been negotiated by both parties for use with that session. For session resumption this is trivially the case, so only new handshakes are affected. On the client, the new semantics are that the SSL->ext.hostname is for storing the value configured by the caller, and this value is used when constructing the ClientHello. On the server, SSL->ext.hostname is used to hold the value received from the client. Only if the SNI negotiation is successful will the hostname be stored into the session object; the server can do this after it sends the ServerHello, and the client after it has received and processed the ServerHello. This obviates the need to remove the hostname from the session object in case of failed negotiation (a change that was introduced in commit 9fb6cb81 in order to allow TLS 1.3 early data when SNI was present in the ClientHello but not the session being resumed), which was modifying cached sessions in certain cases. (In TLS 1.3 we always produce a new SSL_SESSION object for new connections, even in the case of resumption, so no TLS 1.3 handshakes were affected.)
