This reverts commit 15e26a6a9a, whose
purpose was to tweak the Qt configuration to force TLS, i.e., to
disable SSLv3, in Qt versions >= 5.5. However, the default behavior
of Qt >= 5.4 is to disable SSLv3 anyway [1], so the configuration
tweak is redundant.
With Qt 5.11.2, the configuration tweak is not only redundant but in
fact provokes a deadlock (#14359) due to Qt 5.11.2 being incompatible
with OpenSSL 1.1.1 [2]. Since the deadlock occurs at the early startup
stage of bitcoin-qt, it renders bitcoin-qt entirely non-functional
when compiled against OpenSSL 1.1.1 and Qt 5.11.2 (and possible future
combinations of OpenSSL and Qt versions).
This commit fixes #14359 by removing the redundant code.
