wait-on doesn't support Cypress's non-strict SSL feature

I'm taking advantage of Cypress's ability to support HTTPS testing with an invalid certificate, but I'm also using the wait-on feature in this orb. However wait-on by default requires a valid SSL certificate.

I mitigated this by creating a .circleci/wait-on-config.json that looks like:

{
  "strictSSL": false
}

and then changing my config.yml:

wait-on: '-c .circleci/wait-on-config.json https://localhost:3000'

This is a little quirky, as the documentation says the parameter should be the host, but I'm taking advantage of the fact that you're just tacking the configuration on the end of the command.

I'm not saying non-strictSSL should be the default, but I think it'd be great to have an officially recommended way of dealing with this. Even if it's just updating the documentation to indicate you can pass all options to wait-on in the YAML like I am.

Alternatively you can tell wait-on to wait for a socket to be ready, but I like the fact that telling wait-on to use HTTP(S) makes it check for a 2xx response too.

nice addition, I should add this to the README examples

Trying to set Cypress up on CircleCI now to test a web project that runs via SSL — Does this trick still work?
