[NNTP] New RFC 8143 on Using TLS with NNTP

[Julien ÉLIE]

Hi all,

RFC 8143 has just been published.  It updates RFC 4642 notably
by modernizing the NNTP usage of TLS to be consistent with
TLS best current practices described in BCP 195 (RFC 7525).

  https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8143

Thanks to all involved, especially folks in UTA and (concluded)
NNTP working groups.
