Free up space in the session cache before adding.

Fixes #18690

In some circumstances, it's possible that when using an external
database for the session cache, that pulling in an entry from that
cache to the internal cache will cause the newly added entry to
be deleted from the internal cache. This is likely to happen when
the internal cache is set to have a small size, and the newly added
entry's timeout places it at the end of the cache list.

This could be fixed by updating the timestamp of the session (via
`SSL_SESSION_set_time()` or `SSL_SESSION_set_timeout()`) before
adding to the cache. But that may not be desireable.
