Description
If using Twisted 14.x+, we should use the optionsForClientTLS API to generate the default context factories used by, e.g., WebSocketClientFactory to get better TLS defaults.
See also #530 for more context.

Research direction
Locate the default context factories used by WebSocketClientFactory and other Twisted-based clients, then read how they are currently created. Compare that path with Twisted 14.x+'s optionsForClientTLS API and use the issue's improved TLS defaults as the completion criterion; see issue #530 for context.
