OpenSSL honor-cipher-order

The new SSL configuration <honor-cipher-order> matches the Apache HTTPD configuration. It enforces the cipher order specified by the server, overriding the client's preferences.

ServletRegistration and servlet-mapping default

Added a "default" attribute to Resin's default servlet-mapping and changed the ServletRegistration behavior to override servlet-mapping defaults.

The standard behavior of ServletContext.addServlet is to ignore overrides of servlet mappings. The new "default" attribute lets applications override the Resin defaults.
