tls: mitigate session renegotiation attacks
The TLS protocol allows (and sometimes requires) clients to renegotiate the session. However, renegotiation requires a disproportional amount of server-side resources, particularly CPU time, which makes it a potential vector for denial-of-service attacks. To mitigate this issue, we keep track of and limit the number of renegotiation requests over time, emitting an error if the threshold is exceeded.
