fix(tls): use Go TLS defaults (#8227)

Remove fixed TLS 1.2 cipher suite list and maximum TLS version so
crypto/tls can use its maintained defaults. Keep TLS 1.2 as the
minimum supported version.

Document the shared TLS default behavior for plugins that expose TLS
configuration and add coverage to ensure CoreDNS leaves Go-managed
TLS fields unset.

CoreDNS sets the minimum TLS version to TLS 1.2. The maximum TLS version, TLS 1.2 cipher suites, and
key exchange mechanisms use the Go `crypto/tls` defaults.
