Summary
This change adds the ability for ycqlsh to check the server certificate to verify that it matches the connection hostname. Verification is still disabled by default but can be enabled by using the SSL_CHECK_HOSTNAME env var or an equivalent cqlsh entry.
Test Plan
Start a yugabyte cluster with client cert CN set to 127.0.0.1 and server listening on 127.0.0.1. Also forward connections from 127.0.0.2:9042 to 127.0.0.1:9042 by using an ssh tunnel. This way, connections to 127.0.0.1 should pass server cert verification but conns to 127.0.0.2 should fail.
For all cases below, set
export SSL_CERTFILE=<ca.crt>
Test cases
