[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH v2] Prevent Kimchi against TLS Logjam attacks

There are several weaknesses in how Diffie-Hellman key exchange has been
deployed, allowing a man-in-the-middle attack named Logjam, more details
here: https://weakdh.org.
This patch improves the security in Nginx server, generating 2048bit
DH-Parameters or longer when using 2048bit RSA keys.

Some parameters before patch:
echo | openssl s_client -connect localhost:8001 -cipher "DH"
	Cipher    : DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
	New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
	Server public key is 2048 bit
	Server Temp Key: DH, 1024 bits

Some parameters after patch:
echo | openssl s_client -connect localhost:8001 -cipher "DH"
	Cipher    : DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
	New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
	Server public key is 2048 bit
	Server Temp Key: DH, 2048 bits  (*)

This patch also changes the Ciphers allowed by Nginx, change build
scripts and the RPM spec file to deliver new file: dhparams.pem.
