This setting belongs to the individual connection, not to a configuration
shared by many connections. (If a default value is desired, that can be handled
by the application code that calls mbedtls_ssl_set_mtu().)
There are at least two ways in which this matters:
- per-connection settings can be adjusted if MTU estimates become available
during the lifetime of the connection
- it is at least conceivable that a server might recognize restricted clients
based on range of IPs and immediately set a lower MTU for them. This is much
easier to do with a per-connection setting than by maintaining multiple
near-duplicated ssl_config objects that differ only by the MTU setting.
This commit adds a new command line option `dgram_packing`
to the example server application programs/ssl/ssl_client2
allowing to allow/forbid the use of datagram packing.

For now, just check that it causes us to fragment. More tests are coming in
follow-up commits to ensure we respect the exact value set, including when
renegotiating.
When MBEDTLS_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C was defined, the sample ssl_server2.c was
using its own memory buffer for memory allocated by the library. The memory
used wasn't obvious, so this adds a macro for the memory buffer allocated to
make the allocated memory size more obvious and hence easier to configure.
Newer features in the library have increased the overall RAM usage of the
library, when all features are enabled. ssl_server2.c, with all features enabled
was running out of memory for the ssl-opt.sh test 'Authentication: client
max_int chain, server required'.
This commit increases the memory buffer allocation for ssl_server2.c to allow
the test to work with all features enabled.
In ssl_server2, the private key objects are normally local variables
of the main function. However this does not hold for private keys in
the SNI configuration. When async callbacks are used, the test code
transfers the ownership of the private keys to the async callbacks.
Therefore the test code must free the SNI private keys through the
async callbacks (but it must not free the straight private keys this
way since they are not even heap-allocated).
When testing async callbacks with SNI, make all the keys async, not
just the first one. Otherwise the test is fragile with respect to
whether a key is used directly or through the async callbacks.
In the current test code, the object that is used as a public key in
the certificate also contains a private key. However this is because
of the way the stest code is built and does not demonstrate the API in
a useful way. Use mbedtls_pk_check_pair, which is not what real-world
code would do (since the private key would typically be in an external
cryptoprocessor) but is a more representative placeholder.
Rename to mbedtls_ssl_get_async_operation_data and
mbedtls_ssl_set_async_operation_data so that they're about
"async operation data" and not about some not-obvious "data".
The certificate passed to async callbacks may not be the one set by
mbedtls_ssl_conf_own_cert. For example, when using an SNI callback,
it's whatever the callback is using. Document this, and add a test
case (and code sample) with SNI.

Testing the case where the resume callback returns an error at the
beginning and the case where it returns an error at the end is
redundant. Keep the test after the output has been produced, to
validate that the product does not use even a valid output if the
return value is an error code.
Document how the SSL async sign callback must treat its md_alg and
hash parameters when doing an RSA signature: sign-the-hash if md_alg
is nonzero (TLS 1.2), and sign-the-digestinfo if md_alg is zero
(TLS <= 1.1).
In ssl_server2, don't use md_alg=MBEDTLS_MD_NONE to indicate that
ssl_async_resume must perform an encryption, because md_alg is also
MBEDTLS_MD_NONE in TLS <= 1.1. Add a test case to exercise this
case (signature with MBEDTLS_MD_NONE).
When a handshake step starts an asynchronous operation, the
application needs to know which SSL connection the operation is for,
so that when the operation completes, the application can wake that
connection up. Therefore the async start callbacks need to take the
SSL context as an argument. It isn't enough to let them set a cookie
in the SSL connection, the application needs to be able to find the
right SSL connection later.
Also pass the SSL context to the other callbacks for consistency. Add
a new field to the handshake that the application can use to store a
per-connection context. This new field replaces the former
context (operation_ctx) that was created by the start function and
passed to the resume function.
Add a boolean flag to the handshake structure to track whether an
asynchronous operation is in progress. This is more robust than
relying on the application to set a non-null application context.
