Title: Manual specification of hostname to verify against

This allows people to manually specify the hostname they want to verify their ssl certs against.
This should help if SNI insn't available, the server returns the wrong cert or one connects directly to IP addresses.

(Reference: kennethreitz/requests#1124, kennethreitz/requests#749)
This could be enhanced to verify against fingerprints.
