SSL: ssl_session_tickets directive.

This adds support so it's possible to explicitly disable SSL Session
Tickets. In order to have good Forward Secrecy support either the
session ticket key has to be reloaded by using nginx' binary upgrade
process or using an external key file and reloading the configuration.
This directive adds another possibility to have good support by
disabling session tickets altogether.

If session tickets are enabled and the process lives for a long a time,
an attacker can grab the session ticket from the process and use that to
decrypt any traffic that occured during the entire lifetime of the
process.
