MySQL 8.x uses TLSv1.2 as default for hMailserver 5.6.7 (Official/Stable)

Using the latest libmysql.dll version (5.6.7 32-Bit) which is required for hMailServer Installation for MySQL 8.x
connects in version 5.7.24 by default with TLSv1.2 with a preconfigured SSL Server cert

See: "2018-12-15T16:19:18.638262Z 0 [Warning] [MY-010068] [Server] CA certificate ca.pem is self signed." in the Error log.

| Ssl_version | TLSv1.2 |

1 row in set (0.14 sec)

mysql> SHOW SESSION STATUS LIKE 'Ssl_cipher';

| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+---------------------------+

So, at least using MySQL 8.x leads automatically in activating TLSv1.2 for hMailServer official.
