This catches instances where the wrong openssl binary is selected (for
instance, if uname -s is neither Darwin nor Linux) and serves as a
simple up-front test to make sure that openssl is working before we
proceed further into the script.
The crude_grep function served only to perform a simple substring check
against the output of openssl -help. So, instead of running the command
each time, iterating its output line by line, and checking for the
substring within it, this simply caches the -help output at startup and
uses $help =~ substring to produce the same result in a single pass.

Bash implements a backwards-compatible sh syntax for [ .. ], which
handles undef variables poorly. Use [[ .. ]] instead, to take full
advantage of the Bash improvements to the comparison brackets.
because subprocess returns `bytes` in Python 3
we need to interpret them to characters, which are needed by json
input and string parsing

buggy servers may choke on large ClientHello's, TLSv1.2 ClientHello's,
etc. try to detect such failures and report them
among tried connections are TLS1.2, TLS1.1, TLS1.0 and SSLv3 with
ability to downgrade to lower protocol versions as well as a size
limited client hello, both TLS1.2 and TLS1.0 version
EXP is self explanatory - export grade
DES-CBC3-MD5 is available only in SSLv2 - not secure
RC4-64-MD5 is also a weakened version (though not marked as export grade)
It's unlikely that there are SSLv2 only servers on the 'net, all
that were detected as such and I've checked actually are intolerant
to low placement of RC4 in cipher order or intolerant to large client
hello in general. In case we detect issues with the server, switch to
reduced cipher set and run the test again that should give better results
for about 3% of hosts
