The primary motivation for this change is a bug that manifests in loading
the cipher list for inter-node connections, which is slightly wider than the
configured list. This bug appears to be a consequence of how OpenSSL handles
cipher loading. Changing it doesn't seem feasible.

Netty introduced changes to mitigate this misbehavior:

To take advantage of these fixes, we need to upgrade Netty to at least
version 4.1.108. Upgrading Netty also necessitates bumping BoringSSL.

I have found some old CC tests in fallout that I decided to reuse to ensure the performance stays unchanged:

I have used the fallout perf tool to compare the results with main and they seem pretty comparable to me. Example chart:

I am unsure whether there are other tests that exercise CC which could be reused.

Approved. Perf tests reports show nothing out of the ordinary. The test failures Butler complains about are from previous SHA runs. The last remaining one fails in the same manner as al older run.

I would be good to complete the checklist imo.

After giving it a bit more thought I think it doesn't make much sense to upgrade to non-latest. I am going to bump it to 4.1.117 and retest. It will also allow us to tackle https://github.com/riptano/cndb/pull/12902 at the same time.
