Switch assertion failure to returning false

This assertion failure can be hit in production, which causes the
openvpn server process to stop and all clients to be disconnected.
Bug #1270 has been filed for this issue on Trac by another user
who has experienced the issue, and this patch attempts to address it.

Tracing callers, it appears that some callers check ks->authenticated
before calling, but others do not.  It may be possible to add the check
for the callers that do not check, but this seems to be a simpler
solution.

To give some background, we hit this assertion failure, with the
following log output:

```

using the following OpenVPN server configuration:

```

```

and the following command line options:

```
--config openvpn.conf --dev tun1 --local 206.131.72.52 \
--log-append openvpn.log --status openvpn-status.log \
--server 10.28.47.0 255.255.255.0
```

The failed assertion is inside the function
`tls_session_generate_data_channel_keys`, which is called 3 other places
in `ssl.c.`:

* `key_method_2_write`: checks for `ks->authenticated` before calling

* `key_method_2_read`: appears to run in client mode but not in server
  mode

* `tls_session_update_crypto_params`: runs in server mode and does not
  check before calling

That leads me to believe the problem caller is
`tls_session_update_crypto_params`. There.s three callers of
`tls_session_update_crypto_params`:.

* `incoming_push_message` (`push.c`): Probably this caller, since the
  server pushes configuration to clients, and the log shows the
  assertion failure right after the push reply.

* `multi_process_file_closed` (`multi.c`): Not this caller.  NCP is
  disabled in config, and async push was not enabled when compiling.

* `do_deferred_options` (`init.c`): Not this caller.  The server
  configuration doesn't pull.

Changing the assertion to returning false appears to be the simplest
fix.  Another approach would be changing callers to check
`ks->authenticated` before calling, either
`tls_session_update_crypto_params` or `incoming_push_message`.
