Remove RSA key transport from the defaults on the server-side #5399

@PiotrSikora

Description

@PiotrSikora

This is the intent to remove RSA key transport (i.e. AES128-GCM-SHA256, AES128-SHA, AES256-GCM-SHA384 and AES256-SHA) from the default cipher suites on the server-side.

This change will affect your deployment if it's using default cipher suites (i.e. not configuring cipher_suites) and it's accepting incoming connections using those cipher suites:

$ curl -s localhost:9901/stats | grep -E "^listener.*.ssl.ciphers.AES"
listener.<address>.ssl.ciphers.AES128-GCM-SHA256: 1
listener.<address>.ssl.ciphers.AES128-SHA: 1
listener.<address>.ssl.ciphers.AES256-GCM-SHA384: 1
listener.<address>.ssl.ciphers.AES256-SHA: 1

(This works only with Envoy v1.9.0 and newer)

ETA: 1.14 (i.e. ~mid 2020)
