backport changes to ciphers(1) man page
Backport of the patch: add ECC strings to ciphers(1), point out difference between DH and ECDH and few other changes applicable to the 1.0.1 code base. * Make a clear distinction between DH and ECDH key exchange. * Group all key exchange cipher suite identifiers, first DH then ECDH * add descriptions for all supported *DH* identifiers * add ECDSA authentication descriptions * add example showing how to disable all suites that offer no authentication or encryption * backport listing of elliptic curve cipher suites. * backport listing of TLS 1.2 cipher suites, add note that DH_RSA and DH_DSS is not implemented in this version * backport of description of PSK and listing of PSK cipher suites * backport description of AES128, AES256 and AESGCM options * backport description of CAMELLIA128, CAMELLIA256 options
