[issue8629] Fix test_ssl failures under 2.6/3.1 with OpenSSL 1.0.0

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

OpenSSL 1.0.0 needs to change the cipher list for some test_ssl tests to succeed, but the cipher list can't be changed in 2.6/3.1 (maintenance branches). The solution is to skip these tests with the newer OpenSSLs.

This patch uses the "openssl" executable to fetch the OpenSSL version, but we could instead backport OPENSSL_VERSION_* from trunk, at least as  undocumented attributes. What do you think?
