Title: Make SSL_VERIFYPEER configurable

Make X509Auth to accept self-signed certificates on request. Reported by Valentin.

"1. If you not set this option (in AuthHandling/X509Auth.py configure_auth method)
curl_object.setopt(curl_object.SSL_VERIFYPEER, False)
it can cause client to fail if does not have proper certificate, in my case I got this error
File "/Users/vk/CMS/GIT/github/RestClient/src/python/RestClient/RequestHandling/HTTPRequest.py", line 57, in __call__
curl_object.perform()
pycurl.error: (60, 'SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain')

which means that my host certficiate are self signed. Which is fine per-se, but your code should handle this use case."

Cheers,
Manuel
