Set the ossl_shim to auto retry if not running asynchronously
In certain circumstances in the DTLS code we have to drop a record (e.g. if it is a stale retransmit). We then have to move on to try and read the next record. Some applications using blocking sockets (e.g. s_server/s_client will hang if there isn't actually any data to be read from the socket yet). Others can tolerate this. Therefore SSL_read()/SSL_write() can sometimes return SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ/SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE even when using blocking sockets. Applications can use the mode SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY, to switch this behaviour off so that we never return unless we have read the data we wanted to. Commit ad962252 fixed a DTLS problem where we always retried even if SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY was not set. However that fix caused the Boring ossl_shim to fail in some tests because it was relying on the previous (buggy) behaviour. The ossl_shim should be set into SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY if it is not operating asynchronously to avoid this problem.
