maas-cli fails with default certificate

[Diogo Matsubara]

I followed the instructions to enable ssl support in the INSTALL.txt file. https works fine but when I try to use the maas-cli I get this error:

ubuntu@lenovo-RD230-01:~$ maas-cli api login maas https://10.98.0.13/MAAS/api/1.0/ u3ZgXLk6tCrBJKv6tr:6AQQN7FzLXCNjyCYFM:x4k7jdCNW6DDfSV7vCRg2vay4zPHymZ6

We need to add an option to not validate certificates.
