    Fix regression with session cache use by clients
    
    Commit d316cdcf6d8d6934663278145fe0a8191e14a8c5 introduced some extra
    checks into the session-cache update procedure, intended to prevent
    the caching of sessions whose resumption would lead to a handshake
    failure, since if the server is authenticating the client, there needs to
    be an application-set "session id context" to match up to the authentication
    context.  While that change is effective for its stated purpose, there
    was also some collatoral damage introduced along with the fix -- clients
    that set SSL_VERIFY_PEER are not expected to set an sid_ctx, and so
    their usage of session caching was erroneously denied.
    
    Fix the scope of the original commit by limiting it to only acting
    when the SSL is a server SSL.
