Workarounds for strange behaviors in Boost ssl sockets on MacOS and Linux. When writing to the ssl socket, write_some() would sometimes return BrokenPipe instead of WouldBlock unless onWriteable on the raw socket was checked first. On MacOS, even with the onWriteable check using a send size greater than 2016 (determined experimentally) would still result in the error. Also consolidated two identical copies of SendBufferIterator.
