Why Can't I Access Kafka Using SSL from a Go Client?

Symptom: A Go client fails to connect to Kafka over SSL and the error message "first record does not look like a TLS handshake" is displayed.

Solution: Enable the TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 or TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 cipher suite (both are disabled by default).
