Use python-openssl for https connections
Update VerifiedHTTPSCo
In Python 2.7 there are limited ssl features.
Using python-openssl would allow:
* The ability to disable SSL compression on a per connection basis for performance reasons. With compressed qcow2 images the download performance can increase by more than 400% when the redundant compression is disabled.
* Neater loading of the default system CA cert files.
Note that much of the functionality in python-openssl maps to Python 3.3 so if/when we move to a newer version of Python replacing the python-openssl code with Python 3.3 code should be simple.
