Restore historical behavior for absent ServerHello extensions
In OpenSSL 1.1.0, when there were no extensions added to the ServerHello, we did not write the extension data length bytes to the end of the ServerHello; this is needed for compatibility with old client implementations that do not support TLS extensions (such as the default configuration of OpenSSL 0.9.8). When ServerHello extension construction was converted to the new extensions framework in commit 7da160b0 , this behavior was inadvertently limited to cases when SSLv3 was negotiated (and similarly for ClientHellos), presumably since extensions are not defined at all for SSLv3. However, extensions for TLS prior to TLS 1.3 have been defined in separate RFCs (6066, 4366, and 3546) from the TLS protocol specifications, and as such should be considered an optional protocol feature in those cases. Accordingly, be conservative in what we send, and skip the extensions block when there are no extensions to be sent, regardless of the TLS/SSL version. (TLS 1.3 requires extensions and can safely be treated differently.)
