I suggest we make it configurable on the bind line like other ssl
options, so it will work for the common use cases that don't involve
crt-lists, like a simple crt statement pointing to a certificate or a
directory.

It could also be a global option *as well*, but imho it does need to
be a bind line configuration option, just like strict-sni, alpn and
ciphers, so we can enable it specifically (per frontend, per bind
line) without requiring crt-list.
