Description
Since ngx.var.ssl_ciphers (the client-supported cipher suite) is not available in ssl_certificate_by_lua_*, is it possible to export this value in the ssl_certificate_by_lua context for cipher-based negotiation (EC for newer clients, RSA for older ones)?

Research direction
Start by investigating the ssl_certificate_by_lua_* context and the unavailable ngx.var.ssl_ciphers value. Determine whether the client-supported cipher suite can be exposed for cipher-based negotiation, and verify that the value is available in that context when the work is complete.
