The documentation for CERT_NONE, CERT_OPTIONAL, and CERT_REQUIRED were
misleading and partly wrong. It fails to explain that OpenSSL behaves
differently in client and server mode. Also OpenSSL does validate the
cert chain everytime. With SSL_VERIFY_NONE a validation error is not
fatal in client mode and does not request a client cert in server mode.
Also discourage people from using CERT_OPTIONAL in client mode.
