    Do not cache sessions with zero sid_ctx_length when SSL_VERIFY_PEER
    
    The sid_ctx is something of a "certificate request context" or a
    "session ID context" -- something from the application that gives
    extra indication of what sort of thing this session is/was for/from.
    Without a sid_ctx, we only know that there is a session that we
    issued, but it could have come from a number of things, especially
    with an external (shared) session cache.  Accordingly, when resuming,
    we will hard-error the handshake when presented with a session with
    zero-length sid_ctx and SSL_VERIFY_PEER is set -- we simply have no
    information about the peer to verify, so the verification must fail.
    
    In order to prevent these future handshake failures, proactively
    decline to add the problematic sessions to the session cache.
