Improve OpenSSL callout message

Stan Hu requested to merge sh-backport-openssl-callouts-17-4 into 17-4-stable-ee

What does this MR do and why?

This backports !166259 (merged) to 17-4-stable-ee.

The previous message made it sound like everything needed to use OpenSSL 3. Revise this message to make it clear that TLS 1.2+ is needed for TLS connections, and ensure that we mention ciphers and bits of encryption.
