SSL_dup attempted to duplicate the BIO state if the source SSL had BIOs
configured for it. This did not work.
Firstly the SSL_dup code was passing a BIO ** as the destination
argument for BIO_dup_state. However BIO_dup_state expects a BIO * for that
parameter. Any attempt to use this will either (1) fail silently, (2) crash
or fail in some other strange way.
Secondly many BIOs do not implement the BIO_CTRL_DUP ctrl required to make
this work.
Thirdly, if rbio == wbio in the original SSL object, then an attempt is made
to up-ref the BIO in the new SSL object - even though it hasn't been set
yet and is NULL. This results in a crash.
This appears to have been broken for a very long time with at least some of
the problems described above coming from SSLeay. The simplest approach is
to just remove this capability from the function.

There were two paragraphs of useful information about SSL_dup, so
copy that to the right manpage.
