 Description   

MariaDB Connector/C added the MARIADB_OPT_SSL_CIPHER_STRENGTH option in the following commit:

https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb-connector-c/commit/509b948e7dda787d02f6c8fdd236060e4d38ad72

It looks like it was renamed to MARIADB_OPT_TLS_CIPHER_STRENGTH, probably in the following commit:

https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb-connector-c/commit/4b1e94bccce482e979f1f337ba66d8c8a982ee84

It looks like this option's value was once used to set the "minimim cipher strength" for Schannel on Windows. However, it looks like the value has been unused since this commit:

https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb-connector-c/commit/4974bac88be1e4439686232b7feb00763851c975#diff-4a467b37937c1f55911c2eb47a98deb3

Does this option serve any purpose anymore?
