Fix errors per spantaleev suggestions
The different configurations are now all lower case, for consistent naming. `matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_config` is now called `matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_preset`. The different options for "modern", "intermediate" and "old" are stored in the main.yml file, instead of being hardcoded in the configuration files. This will improve the maintainability of the code. The "custom" preset was removed. Now if one of the variables is set, it will use it instead of the preset. This will allow to mix and match more easily, for example using all the intermediate options but only supporting TLSv1.2. This will also provide better backward compatibility.

The posible values are:

- "Modern" - For Modern clients that support TLS 1.3, with no need for backwards compatibility
|

- "Intermediate" - Recommended configuration for a general-purpose server
|

- "Old" - Services accessed by very old clients or libraries, such as Internet Explorer 8 (Windows XP), Java 6, or OpenSSL 0.9.8

If you set `matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_config` to `"Custom"`, you will get three variables that you will be able to set:

If you want to override one of the values used by the preset, you can use this three variables:
|
||||
|
||||
- `matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_protocols`: for specifying the supported TLS protocols.
|
||||
- `matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_prefer_server_ciphers`: for specifying if the server or the client choice when negociating the chipher. It can set to "on" or "off".
