BUG/MEDIUM: xprt_qmux: implement ->get_ssl_sock_ctx() to get the SSL laye

conn_get_ssl_sock_ctx() retrieves the ssl_sock_ctx of a connection by
calling conn->xprt->get_ssl_sock_ctx(). Only ssl_sock implements this
method, and it returns conn->xprt_ctx. This works because for every
existing XPRT combination the SSL layer is the topmost one: even
xprt_handshake (SOCKS4, PROXY, NetScaler CIP) is installed *below*
ssl_sock, so conn->xprt keeps pointing to ssl_sock.

Qmux changes this assumption: xprt_qmux is stacked *on top of* ssl_sock
and keeps the SSL layer as its lower layer to exchange the QUIC transport
parameters over the established TLS stream. During the qmux handshake,
conn->xprt therefore points to xprt_qmux, which does not implement
get_ssl_sock_ctx(), making conn_get_ssl_sock_ctx() return NULL for the
whole connection, affecting every caller that inspects the SSL layer
(sample fetches, logging, ssl_sock_infocbk(), ...).

The visible consequence was a crash: when the peer sends a TLS alert
during the qmux handshake, the SSL library calls ssl_sock_infocbk(),
which recovers a valid connection but a NULL ctx, rightfully triggering
the "BUG_ON(!ctx)" early in the function.

This patch implements xprt_qmux_get_ssl_sock_ctx() so that it returns
the ssl_sock_ctx of the lower layer when it is the SSL layer, just like
ssl_sock_get_ctx() does. conn_get_ssl_sock_ctx() then works again for
all callers while the qmux handshake is in progress. After the handshake,
conn->xprt is restored to the SSL layer so nothing else changes.

This should be backported to 3.4.
