Ticket #1556 Weak HTTPS TLS ciphers

This patch fixes the RSA ciphers that were mistakenly turned on under ECC
section, and off under RSA section. A few adjustments have also been made
based on Bob Relyea's feedback. A new file, <instance>/conf/ciphers.info
was also created to
 1. provide info on the ciphers
 2. provide default rsa and ecc ciphers for admins to incorporate into earlier
    instances (as migration script might not be ideal due to possible customization)

+# Depending on which kind of SSL server you have, you want to reference the

+#              'sslRangeCiphers'
+#        The sslVersionRangeStream and sslVersionRangeDatagram by default
+#        contains values that are supported by the native NSS. Changes can

+#        each site's needs.
+#        Although TLS1.2 ciphers (SHA256)  are preferred, many older clients
+#        do not support them.  For example,

+#        The following  ciphers are supported in rhel7.2 or greater, and they

+#            TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
+#        Although the following (somewhat weaker ciphers, in CBC mode), though
+#        adaquate for the CS operations, they can be turned off if needed:

+#        Note: In an EC CS server setup, you will see by default that the

+#           where the actual systems certs have not yet been crated, and a
