`s_client` TLS client command. The primary goal is to provide enough

+wolfssl-util's `s_client` command is designed to be stronger by default than
+openssl's, as the latter is only meant to be a "diagnostic tool". That is, the
+following command:
+
+ $ wolfssl-util s_client -quiet -connect ${host}:${port} \
+ > -servername ${servername}
+
+is roughly equivalent to the more complicated:
+
+ $ openssl s_client -quiet -connect ${host}:${port} \
+ > -servername ${servername} -verify 9 -verify_return_error \
+ > -no_ssl3 -no_tls1 -no_tls1_1
