Server and command line tools now support option --tls_version to specify the
TLS version between client and server. Valid values are TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2, TLSv1.3
or a combination of them. E.g.
--tls_version=TLSv1.3
--tls_version=TLSv1.2,TLSv1.3
In case there is a gap between versions, the lowest version will be used:
--tls_version=TLSv1.1,TLSv1.3 -> Only TLSv1.1 will be available.
If the used TLS library doesn't support the specified TLS version, it will use
the default configuration.
Limitations:
SSLv3 is not supported. The default configuration doesn't support TLSv1.0 anymore.
TLSv1.3 protocol currently is only supported by OpenSSL 1.1.0 (client and server) and
GnuTLS 3.6.5 (client only).
