ssl: Improve error handling
When doing ssl:controlling_process on a ssl socket that has not performed the TLS/DTLS handshake that call will succeed even though the documentation stated otherwise. However if some other ssl option was incorrect the call would hang. Now {error, closed} will be returned in the latter case, which is logical independent on if it should succeed or not in the former case. The former case will continue to succeed, as it is not dependent of the TLS/DTLS connection being established, and the documentation is altered slightly to not explicitly disallow it. If the TLS/DTLS connection later fails and the socket mode is active, the new controlling process will be notified as expected.
