[mod] Shuffle httpx's default ciphers of a SSL context randomly. 

From the analyse of @9Ninety [1] we know that DDG (and may be other engines / I
have startpage in mind) does some kind of TLS fingerprint to block bots.

This patch shuffles the default ciphers from httpx to avoid a cipher profile
that is known to httpx (and blocked by DDG).

> When implementing TLS fingerprinting, servers can't operate based on a

> when web clients or TLS libraries release new versions. So, they have to
> live off a blocklist database instead.
> ...
> It's safe to leave the first three as is but shuffle the remaining ciphers
> and you can bypass the TLS fingerprint check.
