Add a build option to select different default ciphers for OpenSSL instead of the hardcoded default "DEFAULT:!EXP:!LOW". This new option is useful on distributions where the security level should be consistent for all applications, as in Fedora [1]. In such cases the new configuration option would be set to "" or "PROFILE=SYSTEM" to select the global crypto policy by default.
