The existing test_ssl.py which tests for Scylla's support of various TLS
and SSL versions, used a deprecated and misleading Python API for
choosing the protocol version. In particular, the protocol version
ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23 is *not*, despite it's name, SSL versions 2 or 3,
or SSL at all - it is in fact an alias for the latest TLS version :-(
This misunderstanding led us to open the incorrect issue #8837.
So in this patch, we avoid the old Python APIs for choosing protocols,
which were gradually deprecated, and switch to the new API introduced
in Python 3.7 and OpenSSL 1.1.0g - supplying the minimum and maximum
desired protocol version.
With this new API, we can correctly connect with various versions of
the SSL and TLS protocol - between SSLv3 through TLSv1.3. With the
fixed test, we confirm that Scylla does *not* allow SSLv3 - as desired -
so issue #8837 is a non-issue.
Moreover, after issue #8827 was already fixed, this test now passes,
so the "xfail" mark is removed.
