The version code of the release should have been 09086f (6=f, f=release)
but accidently it was marked "090870" (which would be "0.9.8g-dev").

Therefore we now use "090871" for the development of 0.9.8g. Once
0.9.8g is released, the problem will be "healed". We have never done
beta releases for 0.9.x-stable patch releases, so 090871 would never
be used in practice.

- no need to disable SSL 2.0 for SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME
  now that ssl23_client_hello takes care of that

- fix buffer overrun checks in ssl_add_serverhello_tlsext()

resolve the Valgrind issue with random numbers. Undo the changes to
RAND_bytes() and RAND_pseudo_bytes() that are redundant in this
respect.
Update documentation and FAQ accordingly, as the PURIFY macro is
available at least since 0.9.7.
