Maxim Dounin 381c876ec6 SSL: clarified clean shutdown condition
OpenSSL up to 3.0, when a TCP connection is closed by the peer, returns
SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL without an error queue and with errno set to 0.  Since
OpenSSL 3.0 with SSL_OP_IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF, which nginx sets, this is
reported as SSL_ERROR_ZERO_RETURN instead.

Closing a connection without the close_notify alert is incorrect, yet
common enough in the real world to be handled as a non-error condition.
Truncation attacks are expected to be prevented at the protocol level;
notably, they are not possible for HTTP/1.x requests at all, and only
possible for HTTP/1.x responses if neither Content-Length nor chunked
transfer encoding is used.

Previously, "ERR_peek_error() == 0" was used to detect this, which is
too broad: it also matches TCP-level errors, such as ECONNRESET, which
are better reported as errors, the way the plain TCP code does it in
ngx_unix_recv().

Now only a clean TCP close is treated as a clean connection close.  Most
notably, connection resets now result in "SSL_read() failed" errors.

This change is a modified version of a patch by Maxim Dounin.  The
modifications include resolved conflicts and the refined commit log.
