This is enabled by default as we generally enable things by default unless
there's a reason not to (experimental, deprecated, security risk).
We need a compile-time option because, even though the functions themselves
can be easily garbage-collected by the linker, implementing them will require
saving 64 bytes of Client/ServerHello.random values after the handshake, that
would otherwise not be needed, and people who don't need this feature
shouldn't have to pay the price of increased RAM usage.
A positive option looks better, but comes with the following compatibility
issue: people using a custom config.h that is not based on the default
config.h and need TLS support would need to manually change their config in
order to still get TLS.
Work around that by making the public option negative. Internally the positive
option is used, though.
In the future (when preparing the next major version), we might want to switch
back to a positive option as this would be more consistent with other options
we have.

To prevent dropping the same message over and over again, the UDP proxy
test application programs/test/udp_proxy _logically_ maintains a mapping
from records to the number of times the record has already been dropped,
and stops dropping once a configurable threshold (currently 2) is passed.
However, the actual implementation deviates from this logical view
in two crucial respects:
- To keep the implementation simple and independent of
implementations of suitable map interfaces, it only counts how
many times a record of a given _size_ has been dropped, and
stops dropping further records of that size once the configurable
threshold is passed. Of course, this is not fail-proof, but a
good enough approximation for the proxy, and it allows to use
an inefficient but simple array for the required map.
- The implementation mixes datagram lengths and record lengths:
When deciding whether it is allowed to drop a datagram, it
uses the total datagram size as a lookup index into the map
counting the number of times a package has been dropped. However,
when updating this map, the UDP proxy traverses the datagram
record by record, and updates the mapping at the level of record
lengths.
Apart from this inconsistency, the current implementation suffers
from a lack of bounds checking for the parsed length of incoming
DTLS records that can lead to a buffer overflow when facing
malformed records.
This commit removes the inconsistency in datagram vs. record length
and resolves the buffer overflow issue by not attempting any dissection
of datagrams into records, and instead only counting how often _datagrams_
of a particular size have been dropped.
There is only one practical situation where this makes a difference:
If datagram packing is used by default but disabled on retransmission
(which OpenSSL has been seen to do), it can happen that we drop a
datagram in its initial transmission, then also drop some of its records
when they retransmitted one-by-one afterwards, yet still keeping the
drop-counter at 1 instead of 2. However, even in this situation, we'll
correctly count the number of droppings from that point on and eventually
stop dropping, because the peer will not fall back to using packing
and hence use stable record lengths.
