In a USENIX WOOT '16 paper the authors exploit implementation
mistakes that cause Initialisation Vectors (IV) to repeat. This
did not happen in mbed TLS, and this test makes sure that this
won't happen in the future either.
A new test option is introduced to ssl-opt.sh that checks the server
and client logs for a pattern and fails in case there are any
duplicates in the lines following the matching ones. (This is
necessary because of the structure of the logging)
Added a test case as well to utilise the new option. This test forces
the TLS-ECDHE-ECDSA-WITH-AES-256-GCM-SHA384 ciphersuite to make the
client and the server use an AEAD cipher.

Rather than flat-out die when we can't see the server started with lsof, just
stop waiting and try to go ahead with the test. Maybe it'll work if there was
a problem with lsof, most probably it will fail, but at least we'll have the
log, and the results of the following tests.
Note: date +%s isn't POSIX, but it works at least on Linux, Darwin/FreeBSD and
OpenBSD, which should be good enough for a test script.
With exchanges == renego period, sometimes the connection will be closed by
the client before the server had time to read the ClientHello, making the test
fail. The extra exchange avoids that.
Rationale: if people want to disable RC4 but otherwise keep the default suite
list, it was cumbersome. Also, since it uses a global array,
ssl_list_ciphersuite() is not a convenient place. So the SSL modules look like
the best place, even if it means temporarily adding one SSL setting.
Reading the documentation of ssl_set_truncated_hmac() may give the impression
I changed the default for clients but I didn't, the old documentation was
wrong.
The meaning of debug_level was shift by one during the last debug overhaul.
(The new one is more rational, previously debug_level=1 didn't do anything.)
