[NSE][RFC] New cipher strength ratings for ssl-enum-ciphers

List,

As I was wrapping up work on ssl-enum-ciphers, I decided to add to the existing cipher strength rankings in nselib/data/ssl-ciphers. Previously, this file only contained ciphers ranked "strong." I added cipher suites that could be classified as "weak" (based on export-grade crypto), "no_authentication" (aNULL or Anonymous DH), "no_encryption" (eNULL), and various combinations of these. I also spent a little time cleaning up the ranking code, but no functional changes there.

I'm attaching the patch for this change, so any feedback would be helpful, especially additional ciphers to consider "strong," since many were added since the original list was put together. Thanks!

Dan
