Add setSSLVersion and setBufferSizes to setHTTPOptions to limit memory usage #230

Description

@se-fLa

Proposal:
Add functions to set wifiClientSec->setSSLVersion() and wifiClientSec->setBufferSizes()

Would also like to be able to give a BearSSL::WiFiClientSecure so one can use multiple root certs

BearSSL::X509List trustedRoots_letsencrypt; // Holds our trusted root certs from Let's Encrypt
trustedRoots_letsencrypt.append(isrgrootx1);
trustedRoots_letsencrypt.append(isrg_root_x2);
xxx.setTrustAnchors(&trustedRoots_letsencrypt); // or set with HTTPOptions or in influxDbClient contructor as last argument

Current behavior:
Crashes with out of memory OOM on 8266 / ESP12 unless buffer set to 512,512

Desired behavior:
Possibility to configure bufferSizes for the BearSSL::WiFiClientSecure and also the SSL version.
I added as a test/quick fix in ESP8266_Influxdb/src/HTTPService.cpp::HTTPService constructor

   36: wifiClientSec->setSSLVersion(BR_TLS12, BR_TLS12);
   37: wifiClientSec->setBufferSizes(512, 512);

and that solved my crashes and also writePoint works (only validateConnection() work without this fix, not writePoint())

Alternatives considered:
Be able to provide own BearSSL::WiFiClientSecure object as HTTPOptions

Use case:
Crashes out of memory on ESP12.
