Hi @XueleiFan,

I've moved `keyHashMap` and `currentKeyID` into `SSLSessionContextImpl` as 
you've requested and also did some refactoring and simplification (i.e. moved 
most of the implementation from `SessionTicketExtension` to 
`SSLSessionContextImpl`).

Can you please have a look at the new version?

Thanks,
Volker
