BF-CBC is the default value for the --cipher option in OpenVPN <2.5
and not <2.6. However, the warning printed to screen talks about
"OpenVPN before 2.6", which is wrong and needs to be fixed.

Fix message by saying ".. before 2.5"

Technically it is still the default value but not added to data-ciphers 
anymore but that doesn't matter for the message :)
