Don't attempt to duplicate the BIO state in SSL_dup
SSL_dup attempted to duplicate the BIO state if the source SSL had BIOs
configured for it. This did not work.
Firstly the SSL_dup code was passing a BIO ** as the destination
argument for BIO_dup_state. However BIO_dup_state expects a BIO * for that
parameter. Any attempt to use this will either (1) fail silently, (2) crash
or fail in some other strange way.
Secondly many BIOs do not implement the BIO_CTRL_DUP ctrl required to make
this work.
Thirdly, if rbio == wbio in the original SSL object, then an attempt is made
to up-ref the BIO in the new SSL object - even though it hasn't been set
yet and is NULL. This results in a crash.
This appears to have been broken for a very long time with at least some of
the problems described above coming from SSLeay. The simplest approach is
to just remove this capability from the function.
