As reported by debbie10t on the openvpn-devel list (Message-ID: <326b8ff7-39a6-1974-c0b0-82fd2abdc...@gmail.com>), an NCP client will attempt to reconnect with the previously pushed cipher, instead of the cipher from the config file, after a sigusr1 restart. This can be a problem when the server is reconfigured (as debbie10t explainted), or when roaming to a differently-configured server. Fix this by restoring the cipher options from the config file after a sigusr1 restart.
This makes the cipher options behaviour different from other pushable options, because those are also cached until a sighup restart. We might want to change this behaviour in general, but for now let's just fix the issue at hand. v2: also cache and restore keysize, as that parameter is relevant too.
