It looks like it needs to be broken down into a patch series to
be at least reviewable.
I haven't looked into details yet, but I tend to dislike at least
changing the ngx_ssl_certificate() function into a monster which
configures everything. Preserving a separate call to configure
stapling would be much better.
Checks for extra ceritifcate chains with unsupported OpenSSL
versions looks a bit too extensive. I would think of just
dropping them completely.
