Add ECC curve selection order config in TLS server
As per RFC 4492 Sec 5.1, the preferred order of selection of named curves is based on client preferences. Currently, the SSL application only picks entries according to the absolute order of entries as tracked in a hardcoded list in code. This patch changes things so that the client-specified order is preferred. It also allows a mode where the server can be configured to override the client's preferred order with its own, although the chosen ECC must still be within both lists. The configuration is done through the following options: - `eccs`, shared by clients and servers alike, allows the specification of the supported named curves, in their preferred order, and may eventually support more values for explicit primes and so on. - `honor_ecc_order`, a server-only option, is similar to `honor_cipher_order` and will, by default let the server pick the client-preferred ECC, and otherwise pick the server-preferred one. The default value for `eccs` is the same as before, although the server-chosen ECC now defaults to the client rather than previous choice. A function `ssl:eccs()` has been added that returns the highest supported ECCs for the library.
