This patch is based on Jan Just Keijser's patch from Feb 7, 2012.
When OpenSSL 1.0.2+ or PolarSSL is used, lets the crypto library do the
heavy lifting. For OpenSSL builds, if a user specifies a curve using
--ecdh-curve, it first tries to override automatic selection using that
curve.
For older OpenSSL, tries the following things (in order of preference):
* When supplied, use the ecdh curve specified by the user.
* Try to extract the curve from the private key, use the same curve.
* Fall back on secp384r1 curve.
Note that although a curve lookup might succeed, OpenSSL 1.0.0 and older do
*not* support TLSv1.1 or TLSv1.2, which means no that no EC-crypto can be
used.
