Dr. David von Oheimb 19f97fe6f1 HTTP: Implement persistent connections (keep-alive)
Both at API and at CLI level (for the CMP app only, so far)
there is a new parameter/option: keep_alive.
* 0 means HTTP connections are not kept open after
receiving a response, which is the default behavior for HTTP 1.0.
* 1 means that persistent connections are requested.
* 2 means that persistent connections are required, i.e.,
in case the server does not grant them an error occurs.

For the CMP app the default value is 1, which means preferring to keep
the connection open. For all other internal uses of the HTTP client
(fetching an OCSP response, a cert, or a CRL) it does not matter
because these operations just take one round trip.

If the client application requested or required a persistent connection
and this was granted by the server, it can keep the OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX *
as long as it wants to send further requests and OSSL_HTTP_is_alive()
returns nonzero,
else it should call OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_free() or OSSL_HTTP_close().
In case the client application keeps the OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX *
but the connection then dies for any reason at the server side, it will
notice this obtaining an I/O error when trying to send the next request.

This requires extending the HTTP header parsing and
rearranging the high-level HTTP client API. In particular:
* Split the monolithic OSSL_HTTP_transfer() into OSSL_HTTP_open(),
  OSSL_HTTP_set_request(), a lean OSSL_HTTP_transfer(), and OSSL_HTTP_close().
* Split the timeout functionality accordingly and improve default behavior.
* Extract part of OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_new() to OSSL_HTTP_REQ_CTX_set_expected().
* Extend struct ossl_http_req_ctx_st accordingly.

Use the new feature for the CMP client, which requires extending
related transaction management of CMP client and test server.

Update the documentation and extend the tests accordingly.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
OSSL_CMP_SRV_process_request() implements the generic aspects of a CMP server.
Its arguments are the B<OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX> I<srv_ctx> and the CMP request message
I<req>. It does the typical generic checks on I<req>, calls
the respective callback function (if present) for more specific processing,
and then assembles a result message, which may be a CMP error message.
If after return of the function the expression
I<OSSL_CMP_CTX_get_status(OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX_get0_cmp_ctx(srv_ctx))> yields -1
then the function has closed the current transaction,
which may be due to normal successful end of the transaction or due to an error.
OSSL_CMP_CTX_server_perform() is an interface to
OSSL_CMP_SRV_process_request() that can be used by a CMP client
in the same way as L<OSSL_CMP_MSG_http_perform(3)>.
The B<OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX> must be set as I<transfer_cb_arg> of I<client_ctx>.
OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX_new() creates and initializes an B<OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX> structure
associated with the library context I<libctx> and property query string
I<propq>, both of which may be NULL to select the defaults.
OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX_free() deletes the given I<srv_ctx>.
OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX_init() sets in the given I<srv_ctx> a custom server context
pointer as well as callback functions performing the specific processing of CMP
certificate requests, revocation requests, certificate confirmation requests,
general messages, error messages, and poll requests.
All arguments except I<srv_ctx> may be NULL.
If a callback for some message type is not given this means that the respective
type of CMP message is not supported by the server.
OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX_get0_cmp_ctx() returns the B<OSSL_CMP_CTX> from the I<srv_ctx>.
OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX_get0_custom_ctx() returns the custom server context from
I<srv_ctx> that has been set using OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX_init().
OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX_set_send_unprotected_errors() enables sending error messages
and other forms of negative responses unprotected.
OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX_set_accept_unprotected() enables acceptance of requests
without protection of with invalid protection.
OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX_set_accept_raverified() enables acceptance of ir/cr/kur
messages with POPO 'RAVerified'.
OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX_set_grant_implicit_confirm() enables granting implicit
confirmation of newly enrolled certificates if requested.
=head1 NOTES
CMP is defined in RFC 4210 (and CRMF in RFC 4211).
So far the CMP server implementation is limited to one request per CMP message
(and consequently to at most one response component per CMP message).
=head1 RETURN VALUES
OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX_new() returns a B<OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX> structure on success,
NULL on error.
OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX_free() does not return a value.
OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX_get0_cmp_ctx() returns a B<OSSL_CMP_CTX> structure on success,
NULL on error.
OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX_get0_custom_ctx() returns the custom server context
that has been set using OSSL_CMP_SRV_CTX_init().
All other functions return 1 on success, 0 on error.
=head1 HISTORY
The OpenSSL CMP support was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
