backport changes to ciphers(1) man page

Backport of patch:
add ECC strings to ciphers(1), point out difference between DH and ECDH

and backport of other other assorted fixes to this man page

 * Make a clear distinction between DH and ECDH key exchange.
 * Group all key exchange cipher suite identifiers, first DH then ECDH
 * add descriptions for all supported *DH* identifiers
 * add ECDSA authentication descriptions
 * add example showing how to disable all suites that offer no
   authentication or encryption
 * update status of static DH (it's now supported)
 * backport descriptions of AES128, AES256, AESGCM
 * backport descriptions of CAMELLIA128, CAMELLIA256
 * backport listing of standard names for ECC cipher suites
   and TLSv1.2 cipher suites
 * backport description of PSK cipher suites

consequences required to comply with RFC6460. In particular the supported
signature algorithms is reduced to support only ECDSA and SHA256 or SHA384,
only the elliptic curves P-256 and P-384 can be used and only the two suite B
