[issue23857] Make default HTTPS certificate verification setting configurable via global ini file

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I believe the original objection was that it made it too easy to globally (and in a not-obvious-to-the-end-user way) disable validation.  That argument seems to apply equally well to the proposed patch, so an environment var at least isn't worse; but it does make it less likely that it will be accepted as a 3.5 feature.
