Daniel McCarney fd605450a7 crypto/tls: fix TLS <1.3 client cert required alert
Previously for protocol versions older than TLS 1.3 our server handshake
implementation sent an alertBadCertificate alert in the case where the
server TLS config indicates a client cert is required and none was
received.

This commit updates the relevant logic to instead send
alertHandshakeFailure in these circumstances.

For TLS 1.2, RFC 5246 §7.4.6 unambiguously describes this as the correct
alert:
  If the client does not send any certificates, the
  server MAY at its discretion either continue the handshake without
  client authentication, or respond with a fatal handshake_failure
  alert.

The TLS 1.1 and 1.0 specs also describe using this alert (RFC 4346 §7.4.6
and RFC 2246 §7.4.6) both say:
  If client authentication is required by the server for the handshake
  to continue, it may respond with a fatal handshake failure alert.

Making this correction also allows enabling the
RequireAnyClientCertificate-TLS1* bogo tests.

Updates #72006
