SSL_shutdown() sends a message to the peer, indicating that the session is
over. If you do SSL_clear() and try to reuse the same SSL structure for
another session, note that you do need to do a SSL_shutdown() to the peer
before that.

SSL_set_shutdown() turns on something called a "preemtive" shutdown. This
means that you can set the shutdown as done, even before you have actually
done so. I do not know why this is required or how this is useful.
