William Dauchy a087f87875 BUG/MEDIUM: server: avoid changing healthcheck ctx with set server ssl
While giving a fresh try to `set server ssl` (which I wrote), I realised
the behavior is a bit inconsistent. Indeed when using this command over
a server with ssl enabled for the data path but also for the health
check path we have:

- data and health check done using tls
- emit `set server be_foo/srv0 ssl off`
- data path and health check path becomes plain text
- emit `set server be_foo/srv0 ssl on`
- data path becomes tls and health check path remains plain text

while I thought the end result would be:
- data path and health check path comes back in tls

In the current code we indeed erase all connections while deactivating,
but restore only the data path while activating.  I made this mistake in
the past because I was testing with a case where the health check plain
text by default.

There are several ways to solve this issue. The cleanest one would
probably be to avoid changing the health check connection when we use
`set server ssl` command, and create a new command `set server
ssl-check` to change this. For now I assumed this would be ok to simply
avoid changing the health check path and be more consistent.

This patch tries to address that and also update the documentation. It
should not break the existing usage with health check on plain text, as
in this case they should have `no-check-ssl` in defaults.  Without this
patch, it makes the command unusable in an env where you have a list of
server to add along the way with initial `server-template`, and all
using tls for data and healthcheck path.

For 2.6 we should probably reconsider and add `set server ssl-check`
command for better granularity of cases.

If this solution is accepted, this patch should be backported up to >=
2.4.

The alternative solution was to restore the previous state, but I
believe this will create even more confusion in the future.

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for
ease of use.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for :

  - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  - LICENSE for the project's license
  - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions

The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory :

  - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
  - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
  - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual
  - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine
  - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux
  - doc/management.txt for the management guide
  - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite
  - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference
  - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style
  - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
