Pushed with those corrections.  I also rewrote the comment about which
error codes we'd seen in practice, after realizing that one of my tests
had been affected by the presence of "MinProtocol = TLSv1.2" in
RHEL8's openssl.cnf (causing a max setting less than that to be a local
configuration error, not something the server had rejected).
