Everything else is a fatal error. Also improve documentation about that for
the vrfy callback.

* Certificate verification functions now set flags to -1 in case the full
chain was not verified due to an internal error (including in the verify
callback) or chain length limitations.
* With authmode set to optional, handshake is now aborted if the
verification of the peer's certificate failed due to an overlong chain or
a fatal error in the vrfy callback.
