Thanks for the review, pushed up a commit picking up the SSLFactory
simplification and added the missing {{@Test}}s.
> Bring back the accepted encryption protocols list as configurable option

> With CASSANDRA-10508, the hard coded list of accepted encryption protocols
> was eliminated. For some use cases, it is necessary to restrict the
> encryption protocols used for communication between client and server.
> Default JVM way of negotiations allows the best encryption protocol that
> client can use.
> e.g. I have set Cassandra to use encryption. Ideally client and server
> negotiate to use best protocol (TLSv1.2). But a malicious client might force
> TLSv1.0 which is susceptible to POODLE attacks.
> At the moment only way to restrict the encryption protocol is using the
> {{jdk.tls.client.protocols}} systems property. If I dont have enough access
> to modify this property, I dont have any way of restricting the encryption
> protocols.
> I am proposing bring back the accepted_protocols property but make it
> configurable. If not specified, let the JVM take care of the TLS negotiations.
