setup: require that Python supports TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2

This increases the minimum security baseline of Mercurial and enables us to
remove compatibility code that downgrades security if these features are not
available.

It is reasonable to expect that distributions having Python 2.7.9+ or having
backported modern features to the ssl module (which we require) have a OpenSSL
version supporting TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2, as this is the main reason why
distributions would want to backport these features.
