Information to the difference of `crypto_method`

There is `STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_*_CLIENT` and `STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_*_SERVER`

`STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_*_CLIENT` is used for clients, like:
```php
<?php
$client
= stream_socket_client("tcp://example.com:443", $errno, $errstr);
stream_socket_enable_crypto($client, true, STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_CLIENT);

//...
?>
```

This code makes a TLS Handshake and the `stream_socket_enable_crypto` sends a `Client HELLO`

`STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_*_SERVER` is used for servers, like:
<?php
$server
= stream_socket_server("tcp://example.com:443", $errno, $errstr, STREAM_SERVER_BIND | STREAM_SERVER_LISTEN);
stream_context_set_option($server, ["ssl" => [
"local_cert" => __DIR__."/https.crt",
"local_pk" => __DIR__."/https.key",
]]);

//...

$client = stream_socket_accept($server);
stream_socket_enable_crypto($client, true, STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_SERVER);

//...
?>

This code makes a TLS Handshake and the `stream_socket_enable_crypto` sends a `Server HELLO` after the client send a `Client HELLO`.

so use `STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_*_CLIENT` for requesting data and `STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_*_SERVER` for serving data, after accepting a client.
