mbedtls: v3.6.0 workarounds

- add special sauce to disable unwanted peer verification by mbedtls
  when negotiating TLS v1.3
- add special sauce for MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_RECEIVED_NEW_SESSION_TICKET
  return code on *writing* TLS data. We assume the data had not been
  written and EAGAIN.
- return correct Curl error code when peer verification failed.
- disable test_08_05 with 50 HTTP/1.1 connections, as mbedtls reports a
  memory allocation failed during handshake.
- bump CI mbedtls version to 3.6.0

Fixes #13653
Closes #13838
