-Fix: The Ubuntu 14.04 image on Shippable runs an old version of python, causing issues with checking out bitbucket, adjust tests to compensate. (#49433)

-Add: Mention bitbucket dropping TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 support as per 01 Dec 2018, potentially causing issues with older clients.

+    - As per 01 Dec 2018, Bitbucket has dropped support for TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 connections. As such,
+      if the underlying system still uses a Python version below 2.7.9, you will have issues checking out
