Added "setenv opt" directive prefix. If present, and if the
directive that follows is recognized, it will be processed
as if the "setenv opt" prefix was absent. If present and if
the directive that follows is not recognized, the directive
will be ignored rather than cause a fatal error.
For example, suppose you are distributing a client
configuration file and want to set the minimum TLS version
that the client requires from the server to 1.2.
By using the following directive,
setenv opt tls-version-min 1.2 or-highest
only newer clients that understand the tls-version-min directive
would process it, while older clients would ignore it.
