SSL: automatic rotation of session ticket keys.

As long as ssl_session_cache in shared memory is configured, session ticket
keys are now automatically generated in shared memory, and rotated
periodically. This can be beneficial from forward secrecy point of view,
and also avoids increased CPU usage after configuration reloads.
