checkbox on tls profiles for tls-info logging

TLS information is quite important, especially if a customer needs to change their supported versions and/or supported ciphers and wants to know which peers do use which TLS version and ciphers, respectively. DataPower provides a context variable to access this information but to log this information you to add an action to your processing rule, either an xfrom action or a gateway action. This is not a convenient solution for several reasons: 1) logging breaks streaming (at least to my knowledge) 2) a processing rule might not be available due to "passthrough" 3) the TLS handshake is usually done by the front side handler i.e. there is no possibility to log anything in the error case I therefore suggest to add a checkbox "activate TLS info logging" to all TLS profiles (client, server, sni server). Once enabled (default is disabled), it would log the used TLS version and cipher suite (preferably on the customizable severity level). In an error case (TLS handshake was not successful due to a mismatch of the version and/or cipher suite) it would be helpful to log the supported TLS version and the list of advertised ciphers. And to give one on the top, it would be helpful to see the subject DN of the peer.
