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.
