#7367: "Old SSL" for XMPP doesn't work

Comment(by deryni):
Yeah, I'm not sure what I was thinking about exactly. So I think we can
ignore it. =)
I'm not sure we can correctly handle this case at all though. If we fail a
connection when we are already encrypted and see
<starttls><required/></starttls> we will permanently break connections to
any broken servers which offer starttls over an encrypted connection and
we can never be certain if the connection to the actual server is
encrypted (as opposed to a local proxy of some sort) so we can't safely
ignore starttls (required or not).
