$ssl_server_name is the name from SNI.

$http_host is the Host: header.

$host is the host from the request (which usually should be absent),
or the host from the Host: header (which usually should be present),
or the (first) server_name of the matched server.

I think that there is not an extra directive; but you can manipulate
and compare those variables as is appropriate for your situation.

Specifically: in an SNI-only server, if $host is not the same as
$ssl_server_name, something funny is going on.
