Revise the cipher negotiation info about OpenVPN3 in the man page
Newer OpenVPN 3 core versions now allow limited configuration of ciphers:
// Allow usage of legacy (cipher) algorithm that are no longer
// considered safe
// This includes BF-CBC, single DES and RC2 private key encryption.
// With OpenSSL 3.0 this also instructs OpenSSL to load the legacy
// provider.
bool enableLegacyAlgorithms = false;
// By default modern OpenVPN version (OpenVPN 2.6 and OpenVPN core
// 3.7) will only allow
// preferred algorithms (AES-GCM, Chacha20-Poly1305) that also work
// with the newer DCO
// implementations. If this is enabled, we fall back to allowing all
// algorithms (if these are
// supported by the crypto library)
bool enableNonPreferredDCAlgorithms = false;
Adjust the man page section accordingly but only really mention the AEAD
ciphers to be always present and that they should be included in the
data-ciphers option.
