Correct version selection logic in TLS server
Due to an oversight in the logic, previously a client attempt to negotiate SSLv3 would result in the server trying to negotiate TLS v1.2. Now instead they get a protocol_error alert. Similarly, detect the the (invalid) case of a major number <= 2, which does not coorespond to any real TLS version. The server would again reply as a TLS v1.2 server in that case, and now just closes the connection with an alert.
