Ignore TLS certificate errors

When the Zixi Broadcaster acts as a client (e.g. streaming to another Zixi Broadcaster), there is an option to Ignore TLS certificate errors for the HTTP Push output. This means that even when the Zixi Broadcaster that receives the stream doesn’t have a valid certificate, the stream will be transmitted to it using DTLS.
