[security] update list of preferred TLS ciphers

After revising the list of preferred TLS ciphers for Kudu in [1],
it turned out that some FIPS 140-2 environments using custom JSSE
providers (e.g., particular versions of BouncyCastle and CaseLogic)
lack AES-GCM ciphers, so Kudu Java client applications could not
establish a TLS connection to Kudu servers since the AES-CBC ciphers
were intentionally removed from the list due to their inferior
performance compared with AES-GCM counterparts.

This patch addresses the issue, appending AES-CCM and AES-CBC ciphers
to the list of preferred ones.  The CBC counterparts of the AES-GCM
ciphers are known to be much less performant on modern x86_64 CPUs,
but at least there should be a shared cipher to establish a connection
using TLSv1.2 protocol in such environments.

This is a follow-up to [1].
