SSL: use of the SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF option.

A new behaviour was introduced in OpenSSL 1.1.1e, when a peer does not send
close_notify before closing the connection.  Previously, it was to return
SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL with errno 0, known since at least OpenSSL 0.9.7, and is
handled gracefully in nginx.  Now it returns SSL_ERROR_SSL with a distinct
reason SSL_R_UNEXPECTED_EOF_WHILE_READING ("unexpected eof while reading").
This leads to critical errors seen in nginx within various routines such as
SSL_do_handshake(), SSL_read(), SSL_shutdown().  The behaviour was restored
in OpenSSL 1.1.1f, but presents in OpenSSL 3.0 by default.

Use of the SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF option added in OpenSSL 3.0 allows
to set a compatible behaviour to return SSL_ERROR_ZERO_RETURN:
