    Allow TLS ciphers/protocols to be configurable for console proxies
    
    The console proxies (VNC, SPICE, etc) currently don't allow the
    allowed TLS ciphers and protocol versions to be configurable.  This
    results in the defaults being used from the underlying system,
    which may not be secure enough for many deployments.  This patch
    allows for the ciphers and minimum SSL/TLS protocol version for
    each console proxy to be configured in nova's config.
    
    We utilize websockify underneath our console proxies, which added
    support for allowed ciphers and the SSL/TLS version to be
    configurable as of version 0.9.0.  This change updates the lower
    constraint for this dependency.

Title:
  TLS ciphers/protocols are not configurable for console proxies

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Description
  ===========

  The console proxies (VNC, SPICE, etc) currently don't allow the
  allowed TLS ciphers and protocol versions to be configurable.  This
  results in the defaults being used from the underlying system (or even
  compiled defaults in OpenSSL), which may not be secure enough for many
  deployments.

  For example, many commonly used distributions have compiled-in OpenSSL
  library defaults that allow things like SSLv3 and TLSv1.0 due to
  backwards compatibility concerns.  This is often fine, as applications
  are expected to override the defaults if they want to be more secure,
  but we can't do that currently in nova.

  Steps to reproduce
  ==================

  - Deploy nova and configure the VNC proxy with TLS by setting the
  'cert' and 'key' options in the '[vnc]' section.

  - Utilize a tool such as nmap, 'openssl s_client', or an approach like
  https://superuser.com/questions/109213/how-do-i-list-the-ssl-tls-
  cipher-suites-a-particular-website-offers to scan the VNC proxy port
  for the allowed TLS ciphers and protocols.  Here is an few examples of
  these methods:

  $ openssl s_client -ssl3 -connect 192.168.24.26:6080

  Expected result
  ===============
  Insecure protocols such as SSLv3 and TLS1.0 should not succeed for connections via 'openssl s_client', and insecure ciphers should not be listed, or it should be possible to disable ciphers/protocols such as there for the console proxies.

  
  We utilize websockify underneath our console proxies, which added support for allowed ciphers and protocol versions to be configurable as of version 0.9.0.  If we update the websockify version we require, the TLS cipher and protocol settings could be configured in nova.conf to allow thins to be hardened today as well as allowing for crypto-agility in the future.  While this would require new (optional) configuration options in nova, I consider this issue to be more of a bug than a feature given that we are forcing people to be using known broken crypto in some cases.
