Revert the session_ticket callback in credentials manager. If a PSK
manager is being used, it could be easily used for session tickets as well, and if it's not the generate-on-first-call technique is easy to write. Avoid offering the session ticket extension if we know we don't have a key. For one thing it will cause us to avoid using stateful sessions, but additionally OpenSSL 1.0.1 is very intolerant of empty NewSessionTicket messages so definitely worth avoiding when we can.
