- Current goboring only allows TLS 1.2.
- The next goboring will allow TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3. We got a preview
of this when the Go team upgraded goboring in Go 1.21.6, but then
downgraded it again in the next Go releases.
The release of Go 1.21.6 includes the new boring crypto when compiling
with FIPS enabled. See https://go.dev/doc/devel/release#go1.21.0 and
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/64717.
This new version of boring crypto allows the use of TLS v1.3 for the
first time, so we changed the Pinniped code to use TLS v1.3 where
appropriate when compiled with the FIPS compiler. It also changed the
allowed TLS v1.2 ciphers, so we updated those as well.
After this commit, the project must be compiled by at least Go v1.21.6
when compiling in fips mode. The hack/Dockerfile_fips was already
updated to use that version of Go in a previous commit.

This change updates the TLS config used by all pinniped components.
There are no configuration knobs associated with this change. Thus
this change tightens our static defaults.
There are four TLS config levels:
1. Secure (TLS 1.3 only)
2. Default (TLS 1.2+ best ciphers that are well supported)
3. Default LDAP (TLS 1.2+ with less good ciphers)
4. Legacy (currently unused, TLS 1.2+ with all non-broken ciphers)
Highlights per component:
1. pinniped CLI
- uses "secure" config against KAS
- uses "default" for all other connections
2. concierge
- uses "secure" config as an aggregated API server
- uses "default" config as a impersonation proxy API server
- uses "secure" config against KAS
- uses "default" config for JWT authenticater (mostly, see code)
- no changes to webhook authenticater (see code)
3. supervisor
- uses "default" config as a server
- uses "secure" config against KAS
- uses "default" config against OIDC IDPs
- uses "default LDAP" config against LDAP IDPs
