sslutil: support defining cipher list Python 2.7 supports specifying a custom cipher list to TLS sockets. Advanced users may wish to specify a custom cipher list to increase security. Or in some cases they may wish to prefer weaker ciphers in order to increase performance (e.g. when doing stream clones of very large repositories). This patch introduces a [hostsecurity] config option for defining the cipher list. The help documentation states that it is for advanced users only. Honestly, I'm a bit on the fence about providing this because it is a footgun and can be used to decrease security. However, there are legitimate use cases for it, so I think support should be provided.
