Allow self-signed .onion file transfer certs (#1149)
Most Certificate Authorities don't support issuing X.509 certificates for onion
sites. However, it can still be useful to provide a certificate over Tor in
some circumstances, for instance to tie your alphanumeric Tor address to your
site's main identity.
Therefore, many Tor services provide self-signed certificates. This is OK,
since the onion service itself guarantees that you are connecting to the entity
you think you are.
Dino already allows self-signed certs when communicating over Tor (see
81a5505). However, the same exception does not exist yet for HTTP uploads and
downloads - causing these to fail over Tor.
Therefore, in this commit, we add the same exception for uploads/downloads, by
passing the host of the upload/download urls to the already existing invalid
certificate connection handler.
Note that this handler only allows certificates with type
TlsCertificateFlags.UNKNOWN_CA. This means the certificate of your server must
also include the onion http upload and download URLs in its certificate -
otherwise, the file transfer will fail with TlsCertificateFlags.BAD_IDENTITY.
