Default behavior changes
* In TLS clients, if mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() has not been called,
mbedtls_ssl_handshake() now fails with
MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_VERIFICATION_WITHOUT_HOSTNAME
if certificate-based authentication of the server is attempted.
This is because authenticating a server without knowing what name
to expect is usually insecure.
Security
* Note that TLS clients should generally call mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname()
if they use certificate authentication (i.e. not pre-shared keys).
Otherwise, in many scenarios, the server could be impersonated.
The library will now prevent the handshake and return
MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_VERIFICATION_WITHOUT_HOSTNAME
if mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() has not been called.
