By default even recent versions of OpenSSL support and accept both
"export strength" ciphers, small-bitsize ciphers as well as downright
deprecated ones.
This change sets a default cipher set that avoids the worst ciphers, and
subsequently makes https://www.howsmyssl.com/a/check no longer grade
curl/OpenSSL connects as 'Bad'.

If OpenSSL is built to support SSLv2 this brings back the ability to
explicitly select that as a protocol level.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2014-01/0013.html
Some feedback provided by byte_bucket on IRC pointed out that commit
db11750cfa wasn’t really correct because it allows for “upgrading” to a
newer protocol when it should be only allowing for SSLv3.
This change fixes that.
When SSLv3 connection is forced, don't allow SSL negotiations for newer
versions. Feedback provided by byte_bucket in #curl. This behavior is
also consistent with the other force flags like --tlsv1.1 which doesn't
allow for TLSv1.2 negotiation, etc

Since ad34a2d5c8 (present in 7.34.0 release) forcing
SSLv3 will always return the error "curl: (35) Unsupported SSL protocol
version" Can be replicated with `curl -I -3 https://www.google.com/`.
This fix simply allows for v3 to be forced.
