Port of io.js commit: nodejs/node@77f3586

Original commit message:

This updates the default cipher suite to an more secure list, which
prefers strong ciphers with Forward Secrecy. Additionally, it enables
honorCipherOrder by default.

Noteable effect of this change is that the insecure RC4 ciphers are
disabled and that Chrome negotiates a more secure ECDHE cipher.

Is it still relevant after #14383 has been created?

By itself, no. Just taking the updated defaults is not quite enough. The
updated PR incorporates this change plus the additional command line
switches.
