Allow not sending trusted root certificate on tls handshake

RFC 5246 (TLS 1.2) and 8446 (TLS 1.3) clearly state that sending the root certificate is unnecessary, as it is supposed to be known to clients.
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5246#section-7.4.2
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8446#section-4.4.2
That said, many HTTPS server analysis tools, including Qualys SSLLabs, view this as a (minor) flaw that needs to be corrected:
Qualys ssllabs: “Chain issues: Contains anchor”
Immuniweb.com/ssl: “Server sends an unnecessary root certificate - Misconfiguration or weakness”
Ionos (https://www.ionos.fr/tools/ssl-checker): “Root installed on the server. For best practices, remove the self-signed root from the server.”


Furthermore, sending an unnecessary certificate with each negotiation can degrade the performance of a heavily used server. It would be good if the server administrator could at least choose whether or not to send the root certificate.
