main/nginx: mitigate CVE-2021-3618

CVE-2021-3618 is an application layer protocol content confusion attack,
affecting multiple applications.

According to [redhat][0], nginx addressed this in hg:ec1071830799[1] or
git:173f16f736c10[2] in mainline, but this has not been backported to a
stable version yet.

Backport this fix ourselves.

Fixes #13737

in Exim, specifies the number of errors after which the connection is closed.

The fix for CVE-2021-3618 triggers some tests to fail. These tests are normally
skipped, but the patch enables the features that enabled the tests.
Skip these specific checks for now.
