Michael Paquier 3fb66d3022 Fix unbounded recursive handling of SSL/GSS in ProcessStartupPacket()
The handling of SSL and GSS negotiation messages in
ProcessStartupPacket() could cause a recursion of the backend,
ultimately crashing the server as the negotiation attempts were not
tracked across multiple calls processing startup packets.

A malicious client could therefore alternate rejected SSL and GSS
requests indefinitely, each adding a stack frame, until the backend
crashed with a stack overflow, taking down a server.

This commit addresses this issue by modifying ProcessStartupPacket() so
as processed negotiation attempts are tracked, preventing infinite
recursive attempts.  A TAP test is added to check this problem, where
multiple SSL and GSS negotiated attempts are stacked.
