Reject unexpected application data in bidirectional shutdown.

Update-Note: This tweaks the SSL_shutdown behavior. OpenSSL's original
SSL_shutdown behavior was an incoherent mix of discarding the record and
rejecting it (it would return SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL but retrying the
operation would discard it). SSLeay appears to have intended to discard
it, so we previously "fixed" it actually discard.

However, this behavior is somewhat bizarre and means we skip over
unbounded data, which we typically try to avoid. If you are trying to
cleanly shutdown the TLS portion of your protocol, surely it is at a
point where additional data is a syntax error. I suspect I originally
did not realize that, because the discarded record did not properly
continue the loop, SSL_shutdown would appear as if it rejected the data,
and so it's unlikely anyone was relying on that behavior.

Discussion in https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/6340 suggests
(some of) upstream also prefers rejecting.

BoringSSL

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.

Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.

Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.

BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.

Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
