Make 256-bit ciphers a preference for CECPQ2, not a requirement.

If 256-bit ciphers are a requirement for CECPQ2 then that introduces a
link between supported ciphers and supported groups: offering CECPQ2
without a 256-bit cipher is invalid. But that's a little weird since
these things were otherwise independent.

So, rather than require a 256-bit cipher for CECPQ2, just prefer them.
