Further restrict default cipher list

In the past years, the internet has been moving forward wrt deprecating
older and less secure ciphers.  Let's follow this example in OpenVPN and
further restrict the default list of negotiable TLS ciphers.

Compared to earlier, this disables the following:
 * Ciphers in the LOW and MEDIUM security cipher list of OpenSSL
   The LOW suite will be completely removed from OpenSSL in 1.1.0,
   the MEDIUM suite contains ciphers like RC4 and SEED.
 * Ciphers that do not provide forward secrecy (static DH/ECDH keys)
 * DSA private keys (rarely used, and usually restricted to 1024 bits)

v2: added Changes.rst entry.
