Motivation: In some scenarios a server might want to accept connections from both, authenticated and not authenticated peers and defer decisions after the handshake. This new options allows a host to only do TLS verificaiton if the peer presents certificates and accept connections otherwise. Modifications: Add a new associated value to the `none` case of `CertificationVerification` to maintain backwards compatibility. This option enables opportunistic verification. Result: A new configuration case for TLS verification.
