Implement 'honor_cipher_order' SSL server-side option
HonorCipherOrder as implemented in Apache, nginx, lighttpd, etc. This instructs the server to prefer its own cipher ordering rather than the client's and can help protect against things like BEAST while maintaining compatability with clients which only support older ciphers. This code is mostly written by Andrew Thompson, only the test case was added by Andreas Schultz.
