The functions ngx_http_merge_types() & ngx_conf_merge_path_value()
return either NGX_CONF_OK aka NULL aka ((void *)0) (probably) or
NGX_CONF_ERROR aka ((void *)-1).

They don't return an integer constant which is what NGX_OK aka (0) is.

Lets use the right thing in the function return check.

This was found with -Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant which was enabled
for C in GCC 15 (not enabled with Wall or Wextra... yet).

Passwords were not preserved in optimized SSL contexts, the bug had
appeared in d791b4aab (1.23.1), as in the following configuration:

    server {
        proxy_ssl_password_file password;
        proxy_ssl_certificate $ssl_server_name.crt;
        proxy_ssl_certificate_key $ssl_server_name.key;

        location /original/ {
            proxy_pass https://u1/;
        }

        location /optimized/ {
            proxy_pass https://u2/;
        }
    }

The fix is to always preserve passwords, by copying to the configuration
pool, if dynamic certificates are used.  This is done as part of merging
"ssl_passwords" configuration.

To minimize the number of copies, a preserved version is then used for
inheritance.  A notable exception is inheritance of preserved empty
passwords to the context with statically configured certificates:

    server {
        proxy_ssl_certificate $ssl_server_name.crt;
        proxy_ssl_certificate_key $ssl_server_name.key;

        location / {
            proxy_pass ...;

            proxy_ssl_certificate example.com.crt;
            proxy_ssl_certificate_key example.com.key;
        }
    }

In this case, an unmodified version (NULL) of empty passwords is set,
to allow reading them from the password prompt on nginx startup.

As an additional optimization, a preserved instance of inherited
configured passwords is set to the previous level, to inherit it
to other contexts:

    server {
        proxy_ssl_password_file password;

        location /1/ {
            proxy_pass https://u1/;
            proxy_ssl_certificate $ssl_server_name.crt;
            proxy_ssl_certificate_key $ssl_server_name.key;
        }

        location /2/ {
            proxy_pass https://u2/;
            proxy_ssl_certificate $ssl_server_name.crt;
            proxy_ssl_certificate_key $ssl_server_name.key;
        }
    }

Caching is enabled with proxy_ssl_certificate_cache and friends.

Renaming a temporary file to an empty path ("") returns NGX_ENOPATH
with a subsequent ngx_create_full_path() to create the full path.
This function skips initial bytes as part of path separator lookup,
which causes out of bounds access on short strings.

The fix is to avoid renaming a temporary file to an obviously invalid
path, as well as explicitly forbid such syntax for literal values.

Although Coverity reports about potential type underflow, it is not
actually possible because the terminating '\0' is always included.

Notably, the run-time check is sufficient enough for Win32 as well.
Other short invalid values result either in NGX_ENOENT or NGX_EEXIST
and "MoveFile() .. failed" critical log messages, which involves a
separate error handling.

Prodded by Coverity (CID 1605485).

This simplifies merging protocol values after ea15896 and ebd18ec.

Further, as outlined in ebd18ec18, for libraries preceeding TLSv1.2+
support, only meaningful versions TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 are set by default.

While here, fixed indentation.

MSVC generates a compilation error in case #if/#endif is used in a macro
parameter.

TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 are formally deprecated and forbidden to negotiate due
to insufficient security reasons outlined in RFC 8996.

TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 are disabled in BoringSSL e95b0cad9 and LibreSSL 3.8.1
in the way they cannot be enabled in nginx configuration.  In OpenSSL 3.0,
they are only permitted at security level 0 (disabled by default).

The support is dropped in Chrome 84, Firefox 78, and deprecated in Safari.

This change disables TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 by default for OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
newer, where TLSv1.2 support is available.  For older library versions,
which do not have alternatives, these protocol versions remain enabled.

Status header with an empty reason-phrase, such as "Status: 404 ", is
valid per CGI specification, but looses the trailing space during parsing.
Currently, this results in "HTTP/1.1 404" HTTP status line in the response,
which violates HTTP specification due to missing trailing space.

With this change, only the status code is used from such short Status
header lines, so nginx will generate status line itself, with the space
and appropriate reason phrase if available.
