TLS version negotiation
Updated the TLS negotiation logic to adaptively try to connect using the highest TLS version supported by both client and server. Previously, OpenVPN (when linked with OpenSSL) would always connect using TLS 1.0. Also added tls-version-min directive to force a higher TLS version than 1.0: tls-version-min <version> ['or-highest'] -- sets the minimum TLS version we will accept from the peer. Examples for version include "1.0" (default), "1.1", or "1.2". If 'or-highest' is specified and version is not recognized, we will only accept the highest TLS version supported by the local SSL implementation. Examples: tls-version-min 1.1 -- fail the connection unless peer can connect at TLS 1.1 or higher. tls-version-min 1.2 or-highest -- require that the peer connect at TLS 1.2 or higher, however if the local SSL implementation doesn't support TLS 1.2 (as it wouldn't if linked with an older version of OpenSSL), reduce the minimum required version to the highest version supported by the local SSL implementation (such as TLS 1.0). This is intended to allow client configurations to target higher TLS versions that are supported on the server, even if some older clients don't support these versions yet.
