Fix erroneous SSL certificate warnings
If you attempted to use SSL to connect to a server that speaks STARTTLS, you should get an SSL protocol error. Instead, you were likely to get an "Unrecognized Certificate" error that shows you an unrelated certificate chain and asks you to accept it or reject it. Neither action would work because the actual problem had nothing to do with certificates. The unrelated certificate chain that popped up had been statically stored when validating a prior connection to a different server. With this patch, certificate chains are no longer stored statically when validating server connections. Issue 5886 is an example of a user experiencing this problem.
