because to advertise curves to server we need extensions and
extensions are only available in TLSv1.0 or later, we need to force
OpenSSL not to send SSLv2 compatible hello if it thinks it's ok to
do (when there are SSLv2 ciphers present in cipherstring it will try to)
since early versions of 1.0.2 openssl supports -curves command line
option, it allows us to set the curves advertised as supported
use the same approach to testing: advertise all, check what server
accepts, remove the accepted from list, repeat. When server aborts
connection or selects non ECC cipher, we know that we've tested all.

bash has a built in regular expression processor, we can match
lines using =~
moreover, stuff that will match while being inside parentheses is
later available in the BASH_REMATCH array
the IFS (Internal Field Separator) by default includes space, tab and
new line, as such we can use it to split longer lines to separate
words, just as awk '{print $1}' can, just need to put the value to
an array for that
we also don't have to use $(echo $var) when assigning variables, $var
is enough
bash has also built in substitution engine, so we can do ${var/,/ & }
to switch all commas to ampersands when using the variable
openssl sometimes will print the filename, then the error, and finish
with OK, matching the colon and space prevents from considering such
certs to be valid
CApath is about 20% faster than CAfile so use it, also
save the received certificates from the servers for later analysis
(proper hostname checking, looking for certificates sharing private key,
etc.)
Use the mechanism from cipherscan to find location of ca cert bundle
the certificate extracted in the above way will contain some junk
from openssl s_client output we don't want like verification status
we can remove it ro reduce disk usage for saved certificates
awk has an inbuilt version of grep, also truncate processing as soon
as we find what we're looking for
This version uses slightly different syntax that is compatible with old
awk
