I'm now trying to recall why we did this. ISTM that given that we are
obsoleting 5246 (already done in 8446), we should obsolete all the
other specs that only meaningfully apply to 5246. Here's the
list:

 * RFC 5077: Transport Layer Security (TLS) Session Resumption without
Server-Side State
 * RFC 5246: The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.2
 * RFC 5705: Keying Material Exporters for Transport Layer Security (TLS)
 * RFC 6066: Transport Layer Security (TLS) Extensions: Extension
Definitions
 * RFC 6961: The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Multiple Certificate Status
Request Extension
 * RFC 7627: Transport Layer Security (TLS) Session Hash and Extended
Master Secret Extension
 * RFC 8422: Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Cipher Suites for Transport
Layer Security (TLS)
   Versions 1.2 and Earlier

ISTM that this standard applies to all of them, so we should just mark
them all Obsoletes.
