Summary: Patch to allow SSL validation to be turned off

Initial Comment:
Test servers often have self-signed SSL certificates, but JWebUnit refuses to talk to them. My code to register a EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory() stopped working with release 3.0, so I patched JWebUnit to provide a way to turn off certificate validation.

Message:
I prefer to always set useInsecureSSL to true as JWebUnit is designed for
testing purpose and most of the time testing environments will have
self-signed certificates. In addition WebDriver try to do the same when
possible so it will be better to do the same:
