Add SSL_CTX early callback Provide a callback interface that gives the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have been collected but before they have been processed. This is akin to BoringSSL's "select_certificate_cb" (though it is not API compatible), and as the name indicates, one major use is to examine the supplied server name indication and select what certificate to present to the client. However, it can also be used to make more sweeping configuration changes to the SSL object according to the selected server identity and configuration. That may include adjusting the permitted TLS versions, swapping out the SSL_CTX object (as is traditionally done in a tlsext_servername_callback), changing the server's cipher list, and more. We also wish to allow an early callback to indicate that it needs to perform additional work asynchronously and resume processing later. To that effect, refactor the second half of tls_process_client_hello() into a subroutine to be called at the post-processing stage (including the early callback itself), to allow the callback to result in remaining in the same work stage for a later call to succeed. This requires allocating for and storing the CLIENTHELLO_MSG in the SSL object to be preserved across such calls, but the storage is reclaimed after ClientHello processing finishes. Information about the CliehtHello is available to the callback by means of accessor functions that can only be used from the early callback. This allows extensions to make use of the existing internal parsing machinery without exposing structure internals (e.g., of PACKET), so that applications do not have to write fragile parsing code. Applications are encouraged to utilize an early callback and not use a servername_callback, in order to avoid unexpected behavior that occurs due to the relative order of processing between things like session resumption and the historical servername callback. Also tidy up nearby style by removing unnecessary braces around one-line conditional bodies.

int SSL_want_early(const SSL *ssl);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
SSL_want() returns state information for the SSL object B<ssl>.
The other SSL_want_*() calls are shortcuts for the possible states returned
by SSL_want().
=head1 NOTES
SSL_want() examines the internal state information of the SSL object. Its
return values are similar to that of L<SSL_get_error(3)>.
Unlike L<SSL_get_error(3)>, which also evaluates the
error queue, the results are obtained by examining an internal state flag
only. The information must therefore only be used for normal operation under
non-blocking I/O. Error conditions are not handled and must be treated
using L<SSL_get_error(3)>.
The result returned by SSL_want() should always be consistent with
the result of L<SSL_get_error(3)>.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
The following return values can currently occur for SSL_want():
=over 4
=item SSL_NOTHING
There is no data to be written or to be read.
=item SSL_WRITING
There are data in the SSL buffer that must be written to the underlying
B<BIO> layer in order to complete the actual SSL_*() operation.
A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE.
=item SSL_READING
More data must be read from the underlying B<BIO> layer in order to
complete the actual SSL_*() operation.
A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ.
=item SSL_X509_LOOKUP
The operation did not complete because an application callback set by
SSL_CTX_set_client_cert_cb() has asked to be called again.
A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
SSL_ERROR_WANT_X509_LOOKUP.
=item SSL_ASYNC_PAUSED
An asynchronous operation partially completed and was then paused. See
L<SSL_get_all_async_fds(3)>. A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC.
=item SSL_ASYNC_NO_JOBS
The asynchronous job could not be started because there were no async jobs
available in the pool (see ASYNC_init_thread(3)). A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)>
should return SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC_JOB.

A call to L<SSL_get_error(3)> should return
