Well as long as the meaning of new_session is retained by default there
is no compatibility issue. No existing applications will call
SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated() so there are no problems with enabling
additional functionality after that call.

As I understand it currently the problem is that if new_session is set
to 0 it will renegotiate and always create a new session. Could we have
a new value set by SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated(), for example 4, which
means "renegotiate and resume if possible".
