Issue #20995: Enhance default ciphers used by the ssl module
Closes #20995 by Enabling better security by prioritizing ciphers such that: * Prefer cipher suites that offer perfect forward secrecy (DHE/ECDHE) * Prefer ECDHE over DHE for better performance * Prefer any AES-GCM over any AES-CBC for better performance and security * Then Use HIGH cipher suites as a fallback * Then Use 3DES as fallback which is secure but slow * Finally use RC4 as a fallback which is problematic but needed for compatibility some times. * Disable NULL authentication, NULL encryption, and MD5 MACs for security reasons
