The recent updates to libssl to enforce stricter return code checking, left
a small number of instances behind where return codes were being swallowed
(typically because the function they were being called from was declared as
void). This commit fixes those instances to handle the return codes more
appropriately.

Support loading of key and certificate from the same file if
SSL_CONF_FLAG_REQUIRE_PRIVATE is set. This is done by remembering the
filename used for each certificate type and attempting to load a private
key from the file when SSL_CONF_CTX_finish is called.
Update docs.

The justification for RAND_pseudo_bytes is somewhat dubious, and the reality
is that it is frequently being misused. RAND_bytes and RAND_pseudo_bytes in
the default implementation both end up calling ssleay_rand_bytes. Both may
return -1 in an error condition. If there is insufficient entropy then
both will return 0, but RAND_bytes will additionally add an error to the
error queue. They both return 1 on success.
Therefore the fundamental difference between the two is that one will add an
error to the error queue with insufficient entory whilst the other will not.
Frequently there are constructions of this form:
if(RAND_pseudo_bytes(...) <= 1)
goto err;
In the above form insufficient entropy is treated as an error anyway, so
RAND_bytes is probably the better form to use.
This form is also seen:
if(!RAND_pseudo_bytes(...))
goto err;
This is technically not correct at all since a -1 return value is
incorrectly handled - but this form will also treat insufficient entropy as
an error.
Within libssl it is required that you have correctly seeded your entropy
pool and so there seems little benefit in using RAND_pseudo_bytes.
Similarly in libcrypto many operations also require a correctly seeded
entropy pool and so in most interesting cases you would be better off
using RAND_bytes anyway. There is a significant risk of RAND_pseudo_bytes
being incorrectly used in scenarios where security can be compromised by
insufficient entropy.
If you are not using the default implementation, then most engines use the
same function to implement RAND_bytes and RAND_pseudo_bytes in any case.
Given its misuse, limited benefit, and potential to compromise security,
RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated.

SSL_SESSION_get_ticket_lifetime_hint. The latter has been reported as
required to fix Qt for OpenSSL 1.1.0. I have also added the former in order
to determine whether a ticket is present or not - otherwise it is difficult
to know whether a zero lifetime hint is because the server set it to 0, or
because there is no ticket.

Specifically, an ASN.1 NumericString in the certificate CN will fail UTF-8 conversion

There is no mechanism to do that at the moment - SSL_set_bio makes changes
to the wbio even if you pass in SSL_get_wbio().
This commit introduces two new API functions SSL_set_rbio() and
SSL_set_wbio(). These do the same job as SSL_set_bio() except they enable
you to manage the rbio and wbio individually.
