simplify ciphers, closes #839 (#844)

* simplify ciphers

- let's not encourage (remove options 1, 2) changing your cipher suite FP
- remove "it's quite technical ..." (everything is technical to someone), trim to one line
- add test link so users can just see that it's FP'able
- reinforce not to fuck with the cipher suite in the cipher's sub-section

/*** [SECTION 1200]: HTTPS (SSL/TLS / OCSP / CERTS / HPKP / CIPHERS)
Note that your cipher and other settings can be used server side as a fingerprint attack
vector, see [1] (It's quite technical but the first part is easy to understand
and you can stop reading when you reach the second section titled "Enter Bro")
Option 1: Use defaults for ciphers (1260's). There is nothing *weak* about these, but
due to breakage, browsers can't deprecate them until the web stops using them
Option 2: Disable the ciphers in 1261, 1262 and 1263. These shouldn't break anything.
Optionally, disable the ciphers in 1264.
Your cipher and other settings can be used in server side fingerprinting
