Title: R API: Change SSLv3 to TLSv1

Yesterday, for security reasons SSLv3 got deprecated. Message returned from running py$ggplotly():
'''
Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) :
Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to plot.ly:-9824
'''

Protocol is changed from SSLv3 to TLSv1. 'sslversion=1' is for TLSv1, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17119449/rcurl-boolean-options. It can me checked with:
'''
c(RCurl:::SSLVERSION_TLSv1, RCurl:::SSLVERSION_SSLv3)
'''
