This patch does two things:
  Deprecate TLSv1 and TLSv1.2
  Add support for TLSv1.3

Can we split them into separate logical patches?

Also, shouldn't we first warn the users about deprecating
TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 for a release period, and then remove from
the default list in the next release?  I mean, this is an user
visible change, so users might need some time to adapt.

What do you think?
