Some servers which misunderstood the point of the CertificateRequest
message send huge reply records. These records are large enough that
they were considered “insane” by the TLS code and rejected.
This change removes the sanity test for record lengths. Although the
maxCiphertext test still remains, just above, which (roughly) enforces
the 16KB protocol limit on record sizes:

ECDSA is unsafe to use if an entropy source produces predictable
output for the ephemeral nonces. E.g., [Nguyen]. A simple
countermeasure is to hash the secret key, the message, and
entropy together to seed a CSPRNG, from which the ephemeral key
is derived.
Fixes#9452

This is a minimalist (in terms of patch size) solution, though
not the most parsimonious in its use of primitives:
- csprng_key = ChopMD-256(SHA2-512(priv.D||entropy||hash))
- reader = AES-256-CTR(k=csprng_key)
This, however, provides at most 128-bit collision-resistance,
so that Adv will have a term related to the number of messages
signed that is significantly worse than plain ECDSA. This does
not seem to be of any practical importance.
ChopMD-256(SHA2-512(x)) is used, rather than SHA2-256(x), for
two sets of reasons:
*Practical:* SHA2-512 has a larger state and 16 more rounds; it
is likely non-generically stronger than SHA2-256. And, AFAIK,
cryptanalysis backs this up. (E.g., [Biryukov] gives a
distinguisher on 47-round SHA2-256 with cost < 2^85.) This is
well below a reasonable security-strength target.
*Theoretical:* [Coron] and [Chang] show that Chop-MD(F(x)) is
indifferentiable from a random oracle for slightly beyond the
birthday barrier. It seems likely that this makes a generic
security proof that this construction remains UF-CMA is
possible in the indifferentiability framework.

Many thanks to Payman Mohassel for reviewing this construction;
any mistakes are mine, however. And, as he notes, reusing the
private key in this way means that the generic-group (non-RO)
proof of ECDSA's security given in [Brown] no longer directly
applies.

There are two methods by which TLS clients signal the renegotiation
extension: either a special cipher suite value or a TLS extension.
It appears that I left debugging code in when I landed support for the
extension because there's a "+ 1" in the switch statement that shouldn't
be there.
The effect of this is very small, but it will break Firefox if
security.ssl.require_safe_negotiation is enabled in about:config.
(Although almost nobody does this.)
This change fixes the original bug and adds a test. Sadly the test is a
little complex because there's no OpenSSL s_client option that mirrors
that behaviour of require_safe_negotiation.

A new attack on CBC padding in SSLv3 was released yesterday[1]. Go only
supports SSLv3 as a server, not as a client. An easy fix is to change
the default minimum version to TLS 1.0 but that seems a little much
this late in the 1.4 process as it may break some things.
Thus this patch adds server support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV[2] -- a
mechanism for solving the fallback problem overall. Chrome has
implemented this since February and Google has urged others to do so in
light of yesterday's news.
With this change, clients can indicate that they are doing a fallback
connection and Go servers will be able to correctly reject them.

These keys typically result from being kept in special hardware

Update #3514
An io.Reader is permitted to return either (n, nil)
or (n, io.EOF) on EOF or other error.
The tls package previously always returned (n, nil) for a read
of size n if n bytes were available, not surfacing errors at
the same time.
Amazon's HTTPS frontends like to hang up on clients without
sending the appropriate HTTP headers. (In their defense,
they're allowed to hang up any time, but generally a server
hangs up after a bit of inactivity, not immediately.) In any
case, the Go HTTP client tries to re-use connections by
looking at whether the response headers say to keep the
connection open, and because the connection looks okay, under
heavy load it's possible we'll reuse it immediately, writing
the next request, just as the Transport's always-reading
goroutine returns from tls.Conn.Read and sees (0, io.EOF).
But because Amazon does send an AlertCloseNotify record before
it hangs up on us, and the tls package does its own internal
buffering (up to 1024 bytes) of pending data, we have the
AlertCloseNotify in an unread buffer when our Conn.Read (to
the HTTP Transport code) reads its final bit of data in the
HTTP response body.
This change makes that final Read return (n, io.EOF) when
an AlertCloseNotify record is buffered right after, if we'd
otherwise return (n, nil).
A dependent change in the HTTP code then notes whether a
client connection has seen an io.EOF and uses that as an
additional signal to not reuse a HTTPS connection. With both
changes, the majority of Amazon request failures go
away. Without either one, 10-20 goroutines hitting the S3 API
leads to such an error rate that empirically up to 5 retries
are needed to complete an API call.

Currently an ECDHE handshake uses the client's curve preference. This

crypto/tls has two functions for creating a client connection: Dial,
which most users are expected to use, and Client, which is the
lower-level API.
Dial does what you expect: it gives you a secure connection to the host
that you specify and the majority of users of crypto/tls appear to work
fine with it.
Client gives more control but needs more care. Specifically, if it
wasn't given a server name in the tls.Config then it didn't check that
the server's certificates match any hostname - because it doesn't have
one to check against. It was assumed that users of the low-level API
call VerifyHostname on the certificate themselves if they didn't supply
a hostname.
A review of the uses of Client both within Google and in a couple of
external libraries has shown that nearly all of them got this wrong.
Thus, this change enforces that either a ServerName or
InsecureSkipVerify is given. This does not affect tls.Dial.

The renegotiation extension was introduced[1] due to an attack by Ray in
which a client's handshake was spliced into a connection that was
renegotiating, thus giving an attacker the ability to inject an
arbitary prefix into the connection.
Go has never supported renegotiation as a server and so this attack
doesn't apply. As a client, it's possible that at some point in the
future the population of servers will be sufficiently updated that
it'll be possible to reject connections where the server hasn't
demonstrated that it has been updated to address this problem.
We're not at that point yet, but it's good for Go servers to support
the extension so that it might be possible to do in the future.

This CL changes the way that reference tests work. It's now possible to
automatically update the tests and the test data is now stored in
