Description

At the moment client-side session caching only respects SSL_CTX_sess_set_cache_size, but not the cache mode, callbacks, SSL_get_session etc.

Meaningfully implementing SSL_get_session would mean rustls client sessions would need to become serialisable -- they currently are not.

Research direction

Start by tracing the client-side session caching implementation and its handling of SSL_CTX_sess_set_cache_size, cache modes, callbacks, and SSL_get_session. Determine the scope of compatibility required and whether rustls client sessions can be serialized; done means the supported caching behavior is defined and implemented consistently.
