bpo-43998: Default to TLS 1.2 and increase cipher suite security (GH-25778)
The ssl module now has more secure default settings. Ciphers without forward
secrecy or SHA-1 MAC are disabled by default. Security level 2 prohibits
weak RSA, DH, and ECC keys with less than 112 bits of security.
:class:`~ssl.SSLContext` defaults to minimum protocol version TLS 1.2.
Settings are based on Hynek Schlawack's research.
