Switch ECDHE group default logic for bridge/relay TLS
According to the manpage, bridges use P256 for conformity and relays use P224 for speed. But skruffy points out that we've gotten it backwards in the code. In this patch, we make the default P256 for everybody. Fixes bug 9780; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.

+ o Minor bugfixes (performance, fingerprinting):
+ - Our default TLS ecdhe groups were backwards: we meant to be using
+ P224 for relays (for performance win) and P256 for bridges (since
+ it is more common in the wild). Instead we had it backwards. After
+ reconsideration, we decided that the default should be P256 on all
+ hosts, since its security is probably better, and since P224 is
+ reportedly used quite little in the wild. Found by "skruffy" on
+ IRC. Fix for bug 9780; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
