SSL_shutdown() will only send the close-alert to the peer and switch the
setting of the SSL to "shutdown mode".
It does not touch the underlying connection, so: yes, you have to close the
underlying socket connection yourself.

Once you have called SSL_shutdown(), you can either free the SSL object
via SSL_free() (call SSL_new() to obtain a new one later) or call
SSL_clear() to reset the SSL object and make it ready for a new connection.
