What is the purpose of this change? What does it change?
With tls activated, the rest-server will provide insecure tls versions and insecure or broken tls cipher suits. This change configures the default settings in tls mode, sets a secure set of cipher suits (according to CIS NGINX Benchmark v2.1.0) and sets up TLSv1.2 as min version. It also adds a command line parameter to select a different version as min version.
The current version of the crypto.tls library also sets a small, secure set of cipher suits as default and limits the available TLS versions to 1.2 and 1.3. Earlier versions are also available but have to be explicitly enabled during compilation.
Was the change discussed in an issue or in the forum before?
Closes #251
