Make SSL "basic" certificate check more loose (more SSH-like).

Browse Source 
In "basic" mode, normally un trusted certificates get to be trusted if they are
manually trusted by user. This provides an SSH like private key auth mechanism.
Expired certificates were considered invalid in this mode which does not make
much sense.

29-10-2007: Certificate validation change. In "basic" mode, expired
certificates are now accepted as long as they are in store (therefore trusted).
This makes the basic mode be more SSH like. Some extreme security zealots might
want to be warned.
02-09-2007: as of now log parameters go in the user {} statment. This brakes
every config and there is no backwrads compatibility as of now.
Lots of internal changes, expect crashes.
