OpenSSL: deselect weak ciphers by default

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'.
