SSL: Added SSLKEYLOGFILE key material to debug logging.

This patch also introduces the debug_keylog error log level flag, which
may be used to graunually enable or ommit logging of key material via
error level flags (note, it's always enabled when using
debug_connection).

Each line of key material is output to the error log as separate log
message, and is prepended with 'ssl keylog: ' for convenient extraction.

The purpose of logging key material is to allow external tools, such as
wireshark/tshark, to decrypt captured TLS connections in all situations.

Previously, only TLS 1.2 (and below) connections could be decrypted
when specific ciphers suites were used, and when the decrypter had
access to the acting server's TLS certificates and keys. It was not
possible to decrypt TLS 1.3 traffic without generating SSLKEYLOGFILE on
peer, or by using other hacks on nginx host (using GDB, or patched ssl
libraries).

Decrypting inbound and outbound TLS connections is useful when
debugging for a few reasons:

1) Nginx does not have a convenient mechanism for logging response body
sent to client, or response body received from upstream while proxying.
Packet captures provide a convenient mechanism for viewing this
traffic. This same use-case applies to client request body in various
scenarios where it cannot be logged using $request_body.

2) It is often convenient to use wireshark to dissect non-http traffic
proxied via stream module. This will now work in all scenarios,
including when stream module is used to perform TLS offloading, and
then proxies to the upstream over TLS.

3) Many post-handshake TLS issues are better diagnosed through analysis
of decypted TLS traffic rather than openssl's often ambiguous
alert/error messages.

4) It's a convenient way to debug third party modules that initiate or
accept TLS connections (provided they utilize nginx's native networking
facilities).

Example usage:

error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log debug;

or

error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log debug_keylog;

Live extraction:

tail -f -n0 /var/log/nginx/error.log |\
grep -Poa --line-buffered '(?<=ssl keylog: ).*' |\
tee -a /tmp/keylog.log

Wireshark:

1) Navigate 'Edit -> Preferences -> Protocols -> TLS'.
2) Set '(Pre)-Master-Secret log filename' to '/tmp/keylog.log'.
