From: Selva Nair <selva.nair@gmail.com>

- If an NCRYPT handle for the private key can be obtained, use
  NCryptSignHash from the Cryptography NG API to sign the hash.

  This should work for all keys in the Windows certifiate stores
  but may fail for keys in a legacy token, for example. In such
  cases, we disable TLS v1.2 and fall back to the current
  behaviour. A warning is logged unless TLS version is already
  restricted to <= 1.1

Tested on Windows 10 with openssl 1.0.1r and 1.1.0g
with certificate/key in Windows user store

Some rewrapping of the arguments to no longer exceed 80 chars would be
nice if you touch this anyway.

This no longer works for OpenSSL 1.1, we'll need the patch from
https://patchwork.openvpn.net/patch/160/ (awaiting review), and then use
the SSL_CTX_{get,set}_max_proto_version functions instead.

Otherwise this looks good on first sight.  I'll try to do some building
and testing later.

Yeah, that was more for testing -- will use one of the TLS debug flags -- we
really need to make M_DEBUG print only at some high verbosity.

Good point.

Strangely enough it works in some cases -- I had tested with a non-NCRYPT key in
a legacy token and got restricted to TLS1.1. But point noted. And,  anyway,
set_max_proto_version is better, as otherwise we'll have to touch this again
when TLS 1.3 is out.

Will take care of it in v2.
