Fix variable shadowing and URL handling bugs in TestTLSDefaults

This commit fixes two bugs in the TLS test that were causing failures:

1. Variable shadowing bug (line 145):
   - Changed `err := conn.Close()` to `closeErr := conn.Close()`
   - The original code shadowed the outer `err` variable, making the
     test logic confusing and error-prone
   - Now the test correctly checks the Dial error, not the Close error

2. Missing URL prefix stripping in cipher test (line 168-170):
   - Added `host := strings.TrimPrefix(oc.AdminConfig().Host, "https://")`
   - The cipher test was trying to dial with "https://..." prefix
   - tls.Dial expects "host:port" format, not a URL

3. Improved error handling in cipher test (line 172):
   - Properly capture and use closeErr instead of calling conn.Close()
     inline in the error message

These fixes address the test failures reported in:
