login on laconica (and other services) should fall back to http if https is not available

[Miia Sample]

Laconica can be installed on almost any generic webhost, including ones that don't have ssl encryption (https) available. Gwibber should gracefully default to use loving over unencrypted http connection if https isn't available OR offer an option for forcing login over http.

USECASE: use http://miggi.fi with Gwibber.

Please throw up a warning message like "Could not connect securely. Do you want to force a connection?"

I'd rather not have Gwibber authenticating without SSL before I've got my VPN tunnel up.

Having to always click away a warning message would be pretty annoying to use, an option for selecting what to use when setting up the account seems like the way to go.

https://code.launchpad.net/~tante/gwibber/identica_https_fallback seems like it would provide a fix for this. It just needs review...

[Ryan Paul (segphault)]

This is fixed in the latest revision of trunk. I decided that the most palatable solution is to allow the user to click a "Allow insecure connection" checkbox in the account properties dialog. This will make Gwibber use http instead of https for that laconi.ca server.
