commit 32859f608c2fe876c418e94e3883ab04083cac75

    Tolerate DTLS alerts with an incorrect version number
    
    In the case of a protocol version alert being sent by a peer the record
    version number may not be what we are expecting. In DTLS records with an
    unexpected version number are silently discarded. This probably isn't
    appropriate for alerts, so we tolerate a mismatch in the minor version
    number.
    
    This resolves an issue reported on openssl-users where an OpenSSL server
    chose DTLS1.0 but the client was DTLS1.2 only and sent a protocol_version
    alert with a 1.2 record number. This was silently ignored by the server.
