Title: Ability to set SSL version explicitly

I had live nightmare this night.
I had to set SSL version to TLS v1 for one important service using Savon.
On ruby 1.8.7 EE it worked nicely, but 1.9.3 uses "SSLv23" auto-negotiate by default, which results in SSL verify errors.

And since Savon uses HTTPI I couldn't set this version no matter how hard I tried.
So I went monkeypatching frenzy.

This patch is not complete (e.g. it doesn't set ssl version on Net::HTTP and HTTPClient adapters), but its just a demo how I did this and I want you to see if it's a good idea to add this functionality.
