Experimental workaround TLS filler (WTF) extension.
Based on a suggested workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the TLS Client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it is at least 512. To enable it use an unused extension number (for example 0x4242) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_wtf=0x4242 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
