Review Comment:
   I'm still having wrapping my head around this, so for the negotiation to be 
able to chose < 1.2 we have to set the security level to 0, but we also have to 
either specify a minimum version < 1.2 or don't set the minimum version at all, 
so as I understand the < 1.2 can only NOT be negotiated if 
`minimum_tls_version_ >= 1.2` all other cases allow for < 1.2 but for that we 
need to also set the security level to 0, so the condition should only be 
`minimum_tls_version_ != -1 && minimum_tls_version_ < TLS1_2_VERSION`, so the 
user explicitly set the minimum version to allow pre-1.2, it seems to me that 
the maximum version does not really play a role
