Some of the options have been moved around, but there are no semantic
changes.

/*
* Minimal configuration for TLS 1.2 with PSK and AES-CCM ciphersuites
*
* Distinguishing features:
* - no bignum, no PK, no X509
* - fully modern and secure (provided the pre-shared keys have high entropy)
* - very low record overhead with CCM-8
* - optimized for low RAM usage
* - Optimized for small code size, low bandwidth (on a reliable network),
* and low RAM usage.
* - No asymmetric cryptography (no certificates, no Diffie-Hellman key
* exchange).
* - Fully modern and secure (provided the pre-shared keys are generated and
* stored securely).
* - Very low record overhead with CCM-8.
*
* See README.txt for usage instructions.
