TLS1.3 change_cipher_spec as part of application data

I checked this further and the issue was indeed with my code.. I did some
recent async io completion handler refactor because of which the bio's
socket write completion was triggering the observer's read completion
callback.. the records were actually client side write bio buffers which
got mixed with the ssl_read data on the read path. Thanks for the pointer,
we are doing good. Nothing further is needed at this point.
