This function is really emulating what would happen in client mode,
and does not necessarily reflect what is usable for a server SSL.
Make this a bit more explicit, and do some wordsmithing while here.

Split off the portions that mutate the SSL object into a separate
function that the state machine calls, so that the public API can
be a pure function. (It still needs the SSL parameter in order
to determine what SSL_METHOD's get_cipher_by_char() routine to use,
though.)
Instead of returning the stack of ciphers (functionality that was
not used internally), require using the output parameter, and add
a separate output parameter for the SCSVs contained in the supplied
octets, if desired. This lets us move to the standard return value
convention. Also make both output stacks optional parameters.

Move ssl_bytes_to_cipher_list() to ssl_lib.c and create a public
wrapper around it. This lets application early callbacks easily get
SSL_CIPHER objects from the raw ciphers bytes without having to
reimplement the parsing code. In particular, they do not need to
know the details of the sslv2 format ClientHello's ciphersuite
specifications.
Document the new public function, including the arguably buggy behavior
of modifying the supplied SSL object. On the face of it, such a function
should be able to be pure, just a direct translation of wire octets to
internal data structures.
