 I think that we should note how far we get in our SSL connection and
 renegotiation attempts, and when an OR connection fails before entering
 state OR_CONN_STATE_STATE, we should note its OR_CONN_STATE state and its
 SSL state.  We should then track to see if there is a point in the
 handshake process where some or all of our connections are getting
 stopped, so as to better and more rapidly diagnose blocking events,
 network failures, broken SSL libraries, and wombats eating the ethernet
 cable.

 We should do this separately for incoming and outgoing connections.

 As a first cut, we can just track "how far have we gotten" on each
 connection either when we close it or when it is open, and note the
 maximum progress.  We can probably make it smarter too.
