[cherry-pick: release-v0.80.x] fix(consoleplugin): translate IANA ciphers to OpenSSL for nginx

[tekton-robot]

This is a cherry-pick of #3639

---

Summary

• Resolves tls-scanner TC08 finding: pipelines-console-plugin nginx was not honoring the cluster cipher suite (Intermediate profile) — api_server_tls_config_compliance.ciphers=false
• Adds ianaToOpenSSLCiphers() to translate IANA cipher suite names (from the OpenShift APIServer TLS profile) to the OpenSSL names required by nginx's ssl_ciphers directive
• The mapping is derived by inverting library-go's openSSLToIANACiphersMap — the canonical source of truth for OpenShift profile ciphers
• TLS 1.3 ciphers (TLS_AES_*, TLS_CHACHA20_*) are intentionally skipped: nginx/OpenSSL negotiates them automatically when TLSv1.3 is in ssl_protocols
• ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on; is emitted alongside ssl_ciphers so the cluster-defined ordering is respected

Context

Part of the central TLS management work (SRVKP-9632). The console plugin already:

• fetches the APIServer TLS profile dynamically
• applies ssl_protocols and ML-KEM PQC groups (ssl_conf_command Groups X25519MLKEM768:X25519)

This PR adds the missing ssl_ciphers piece.

Behaviour when APIServer cipher list is nil

When no explicit tlsSecurityProfile is set on APIServer/cluster, the operator receives a nil cipher list and writes no ssl_ciphers directive. Nginx then falls back to its built-in default (HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5), which on RHEL/OpenSSL 3.x expands to ~131 cipher suites — far broader than any OpenShift TLS profile.

This is intentional and consistent with all other Pipelines components: propagate what the APIServer provides, never invent a fallback cipher list. Production OpenShift clusters always carry an explicit TLS profile (the platform default is Intermediate, confirmed by library-go: DefaultTLSProfileType = TLSProfileIntermediateType). A cluster with no profile set is misconfigured from a compliance standpoint — the operator should not silently mask that.

To reproduce real production conditions, explicitly set the Intermediate profile:

oc patch apiserver cluster --type=merge \
  -p '{"spec":{"tlsSecurityProfile":{"type":"Intermediate","intermediate":{}}}}'

Cluster validation evidence

APIServer set to Intermediate profile. The nginx ConfigMap is generated with exactly the 6 TLS 1.2 Intermediate ciphers:

ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
ssl_ciphers ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
ssl_conf_command Groups X25519MLKEM768:X25519;

Live TLS handshake tests:

Test	Result
TLS 1.2 + ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 (Intermediate cipher)	✅ Negotiated
TLS 1.2 + AES256-SHA (Old-profile-only cipher)	✅ Rejected (handshake failure, Cipher: NONE)

Test plan

• Deploy operator to an OCP cluster with Intermediate profile explicitly set
• Confirm nginx.conf contains the Intermediate cipher set from the API server
• Verify Intermediate ciphers are accepted and non-profile ciphers are rejected
• Run tls-scanner and confirm TC08 passes
