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.
