Rich Salz e5db7fcf93 Add some man page cross-references
The old/deprecated servername callback should refer back to the
new/preferred early callback mechanism, as well as indicate that
it is superseded by the early callback.

The early callback should also mention the API for turning the
raw cipherlist octets from the client into usable data structures.

=head1 NAME
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback, SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg,
SSL_get_servername_type, SSL_get_servername - handle server name indication
(SNI)
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
long SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx,
int (*cb)(SSL *, int *, void *));
long SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg(SSL_CTX *ctx, void *arg);
const char *SSL_get_servername(const SSL *s, const int type);
int SSL_get_servername_type(const SSL *s);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The functionality provided by the servername callback is superseded by
the early callback, which can be set using SSL_CTX_set_early_cb().
The servername callback is retained for historical compatibility.
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback() sets the application callback B<cb>
used by a server to perform any actions or configuration required based on
the servername extension received in the incoming connection. When B<cb>
is NULL, SNI is not used. The B<arg> value is a pointer which is passed to
the application callback.
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg() sets a context-specific argument to be
passed into the callback for this B<SSL_CTX>.
SSL_get_servername() returns a servername extension value of the specified
type if provided in the Client Hello or NULL.
SSL_get_servername_type() returns the servername type or -1 if no servername
is present. Currently the only supported type (defined in RFC3546) is
B<TLSEXT_NAMETYPE_host_name>.
=head1 NOTES
Several callbacks are executed during ClientHello processing, including
the early, ALPN, and servername callbacks. The early callback is executed
first, then the servername callback, followed by the ALPN callback.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback() and
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg() both always return 1 indicating success.
