SSL Certificate Verification Support in urllib HTTPS backend

************************************************************

In previous versions of Bazaar, only one of the two supported HTTPS

backends, pycurl, supported verification of SSL certificates. This version

also introduces this support for the urllib backend.

Along with this support two new options have been introduced to control

which CA's are trusted and to what degree server certificates should be

verified. See ``bzr help ssl.ca_certs`` and ``bzr help ssl.cert_reqs``

for more information

Users who have previously used the urllib HTTPS backend with servers

with invalid or untrusted certificates can continue to do so by

adding the required certificates to the trusted CA certificate file

(recommended) or by setting the ``ssl.cert_reqs`` option to ``none``.
