With cipher validation performed in cipher_get(), a cipher is never returned in any case if some check fails.This prevents OpenVPN from operating on all ciphers provided by the SSL library, like printing them to the user. Move the validation logic to cipher_valid() so that checks are performed only when OpenVPN really want to know if a cipher is usable or not.

Maybe it would be better to have a 'bool ret = true' defined in the beginning and have an 'exit' label above the EVP_CIPHER_free() and at those two failure locations just set ret = false and goto exit?
