zERT - Allow filtering for cipher suites

Please add a filter criteria for CipherSuites, like 009D or C027.

So it is a quick view over used certificates, and we could reduce our AT-TLS rules for longer unused ciphers.

Alternative would be a filtering with multiple parts, like AES_CBC_128 and the next filter with SHA1 and the next filter would be RSA or DH or DHE... 
THis is much more complex than simple give then number of the CipherSuite. 

This would allow to migrate slightly to PFS (perfect forward secrecy)-Only ciphers.
