Change subject: sip.conf: tlsclientmethod is using sslv23 as default.
......................................................................


sip.conf: tlsclientmethod is using sslv23 as default.

When 'tlsclientmethod' is not specified in sip.conf, chan_sip uses the OpenSSL
SSLv23_method. This was documented incorrectly in the file sip.conf.sample.

SSLv23_method got its name in the 90s. Today, with OpenSSL 1.0.2, this method
enables (just) the secure TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.2. Or stated differently, that
function should have been called 'secure_method' or 'automatic_method' back in
the 90s.

Consequently please, specify 'tlsclientmethod=tlsv1' in your sip.conf only if
you face a server which has problems like not falling back to TLSv1.0
automatically.
