Why don't we use all these?

Do we need to set this if this is set in tlsSocketInit? What's the purpose?

Since this is a debug message and it doesn't need to be super nice, can you just have a single message which reports the RC value?

number string is very generic, what does it even mean? Can you be more specific, for example, I.A.N.A Elliptic curve enumerator?

Why declare it here, do you need it later?

Proposed changes
'zowe.network.server.tls.curves' is an array a user can set in zowe.yaml to customize crypto curves.
GSK handles curves as a string of 4 digit numbers(IANA numbers) back to back without any spaces or symbols in between.
Its very unfriendly to a human, so a mapping from names to numbers is needed, this is done in tls.h, for now only supported curves are in the array. Unsupported curves are commented and can be moved into this array as and when the supported curves are updated.
Curves are set during TLS settings initialization using gsk_attribute_set_buffer(), using 'GSK_CLIENT_ECURVE_LIST', see here
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=reference-gsk-attribute-set-buffer for reference,
Currently, the supported curves are here, https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=programming-cipher-suite-definitions#csdcwh__tttcsd
Testing:
The curves that are not supported show an error in gsktrace as below, this was tested by adding some unsupported curves into the curve map array.
ERROR set_binary_ecurves(): Elliptical curve 0001 not supported
ERROR set_binary_ecurves(): Elliptical curve 0009 not supported
ERROR set_binary_ecurves(): Elliptical curve 0026 not supported
To show the error in normal logs, only valid curves are in the mapping array. So if any invalid curve is mentioned in zowe.yaml an invalid curve message is logged.
zowe.network.server.tls.curves: ["x25519", "x448", "secp192r1", "secp224r1","prime256v1","secp384r1", "secp521r1"]
