Help: Allow security flaw to improve interop

Example: --ssl-allow-beast $URL

This option tells curl to not work around a security flaw in the SSL3 and
TLS1.0 protocols known as BEAST.  If this option isn't used, the SSL layer may
use workarounds known to cause interoperability problems with some older SSL
implementations.

**WARNING**: this option loosens the SSL security, and by using this flag you
ask for exactly that.
