Provide a hook for arbitrary SSL verification methods

[Manishearth]

Currently we use a VerifyCallback, however there's a lot of in built verification in SslContext (eg you can just provide it with a root CA file and it does the rest). Making HttpConnector take a fn(&mut SslContext) would be more useful (one can still attach verify callbacks directly, so no functionality is lost)

I have a pre-unboxed closure patch here, if its design feels okay I can move it to unboxed closures.

Makes sense to me!
