111bfef33c MEDIUM: shctx: use unsigned int for len and block_count
Allows bigger objects to be cached in the shctx, the first
implementation was only storing small ssl session, but we want to store
bigger HTTP response.

4f45bb9c46 MEDIUM: shctx: separate ssl and shctx
This patch reorganize the shctx API in a generic storage API, separating
the shared SSL session handling from its core.

The shctx API only handles the generic data part, it does not know what
kind of data you use with it.

A shared_context is a storage structure allocated in a shared memory,
allowing its usage in a multithread or a multiprocess context.

The structure use 2 linked list, one containing the available blocks,
and another for the hot locked blocks. At initialization the available
list is filled with <maxblocks> blocks of size <blocksize>. An <extra>
space is initialized outside the list in case you need some specific
storage.

+-----------------------+--------+--------+--------+--------+----
| struct shared_context | extra  | block1 | block2 | block3 | ...
+-----------------------+--------+--------+--------+--------+----
                                 <--------  maxblocks  --------->
                                            * blocksize

The API allows to store content on several linked blocks. For example,
if you allocated blocks of 16 bytes, and you want to store an object of
60 bytes, the object will be allocated in a row of 4 blocks.

The API was made for LRU usage, each time you get an object, it pushes
the object at the end of the list. When it needs more space, it discards

The functions name have been renamed in a more logical way, the part
regarding shctx have been prefixed by shctx_ and the functions for the
shared ssl session cache have been prefixed by sh_ssl_sess_.

Add an shctx argument which permits to create new independent shctx
area.

24a7a75be6 REORG: shctx: move lock functions and struct
Move locks functions to proto/shctx.h, and structures to types/shctx.h
in order to simplify the split ssl/shctx.
