Bug fixes:

* (#19884) Intermittent SSL errors in Puppet master / PuppetDB communication

  There is a bug in OpenJDK 7 (starting in 1.7 update 6) whereby SSL

  communication using Diffie-Hellman ciphers will error out a small

  percentage of the time.  In 1.3.1, we've made the list of SSL ciphers

  that will be considered during SSL handshake configurable.  In addition,

  if you're using an affected version of the JDK and you don't specify

  a legal list of ciphers, we'll automatically default to a list that

  does not include the Diffie-Hellman variants.  When this issue is

  fixed in the JDK, we'll update the code to re-enable them on known

  good versions.

* (#20563) Out of Memory error on PuppetDB export

  Because the `puppetdb-export` tool used multiple threads to retrieve

  data from PuppetDB and a single thread to write the data to the

  export file, it was possible in certain hardware configurations to

  exhaust all of the memory available to the JVM.  We've moved this

  back to a single-threaded implementation for now, which may result

  in a minor performance decrease for exports, but will prevent

  the possibility of hitting an OOM error.

* Don't check for newer versions in the PE-PuppetDB dashboard

  When running PuppetDB as part of a Puppet Enterprise installation, the

  PuppetDB package should not be upgraded independently of Puppet Enterprise.

  Therefore, the notification message that would appear in the PuppetDB

  dashboard indicating that a newer version is available has been removed

  for PE environments.
