quic_newcid_from_hash64 is an external callback. If defined, it serves as a CID method generation, as an alternative to the default random implementation. This mechanism was not correctly implemented on the backend side. Indeed, <hash64> quic_conn member is only setted for frontend connections. The simplest solution would be to properly define it also for backend ones. However, quic_newcid_from_hash64 derivation is really only useful for the frontend side for now. Thus, this patch disables using it on the backend side in favor of the default random generator. To implement this, quic_cid_generate() is splitted in two functions, for both methods of CIDs generation. This is the responsibility of the caller to select the proper method. On backend side, only random implementation is now used.
