Description

Since a while now, Netty does not only support the JDK's SSLEngine but also implements one based on openSSL which, according to https://netty.io/wiki/requirements-for-4.x.html#wiki-h4-4 is significantly faster. We should add support for using that engine instead.

This ticket is for adding the necessary parts to configure and setup an arbitrary Netty-supported SslEngine.
