Check message id/acked ids too when doing sessionid cookie checks

This fixes that control packets on a floating client can trigger
creating a new session in special circumstances:

To trigger this circumstance a connection needs to

- starts on IP A
- successfully floats to IP B by data packet
- then has a control packet from IP A before any
  data packet can trigger the float back to IP A

and all of this needs to happen in the 60s time
that hmac cookie is valid in the default
configuration.

In this scenario we would trigger a new connection as the HMAC
session id would be valid.

This patch adds checking also of the message-id and acked ids to
discern packet from the initial three-way handshake where these
ids are 0 or 1 from any later packet.

This will now trigger (at verb 4 or higher) a messaged like:

   Packet (P_ACK_V1) with invalid or missing SID

instead.

Also remove a few duplicated free_tls_pre_decrypt_state in test_ssl.
