Provide a different mechanism to indicate that the application wants
to retry the verification. The negative result of the callback function
now indicates an error again.
Instead the SSL_set_retry_verify() can be called from the callback
to indicate that the handshake should be suspended.

The client-side cert verification callback function may not only return
as usual for success or 0 for failure, but also -1,
typically on failure verifying the server certificate.
This makes the handshake suspend and return control to the calling application
with SSL_ERROR_WANT_RETRY_VERIFY.
The app can for instance fetch further certificates or cert status information
needed for the verification.
Calling SSL_connect() again resumes the connection attempt
by retrying the server certificate verification step.
This process may even be repeated if need be.
The core implementation of the feature is in ssl/statem/statem_clnt.c,
splitting tls_process_server_certificate() into a preparation step
that just copies the certificates received from the server to s->session->peer_chain
(rather than having them in a local variable at first) and returns to the state machine,
and a post-processing step in tls_post_process_server_certificate() that can be repeated:
Try verifying the current contents of s->session->peer_chain basically as before,
but give the verification callback function the chance to pause connecting and
make the TLS state machine later call tls_post_process_server_certificate() again.
Otherwise processing continues as usual.
The documentation of the new feature is added to SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback.pod
and SSL_want.pod.
This adds two tests:
* A generic test in test/helpers/handshake.c
on the usability of the new server cert verification retry feature.
It is triggered via test/ssl-tests/03-custom_verify.cnf.in (while the bulky auto-
generated changes to test/ssl-tests/03-custom_verify.cnf can be basically ignored).
* A test in test/sslapitest.c that demonstrates the effectiveness of the approach
for augmenting the cert chain provided by the server in between SSL_connect() calls.

While stereotyped repetitions are frowned upon in literature, they
serve a useful purpose in manual pages, because it is easier for
the user to find certain information if it is always presented in
the same way. For that reason, this commit harmonizes the varying
formulations in the HISTORY section about which functions, flags,
etc. were added in which OpenSSL version.
It also attempts to make the pod files more grep friendly by
avoiding to insert line breaks between the symbol names and the
corresponding version number in which they were introduced
(wherever possible). Some punctuation and typographical errors
were fixed on the way.

"Early callback" is a little ambiguous now that early data exists.
Perhaps "ClientHello 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.
