Leorize 1fb2a58674 net: use a secure cipher list by default
Previously, the `net` module use the blanket "ALL" as the default cipher
list. This list may contain security ciphers that are weak and/or outdated
according to the current standard.

This commit introduces a new module `ssl_config` that contains the
latest OpenSSL configurations as recommended by Mozilla OpSec, and
make the `net` module use the cipher list targeting `intermediate`
compatibility level as the default.
