RSS feed blocktype cannot poll feeds served over untrusted SSL connections

[François Marier]

If curl throws a certificate error while downloading an RSS feed in the external feed blocktype, then the transfer does not proceed and the feed is not usable.

We should make it possible for people to override this (but not enabled by default) because sometimes there's nothing you can do about it.
