Allow HTTPS based provisioning verification on Muxpi

[flotter]

Hi. The muxpi connector currently supports requesting a URL during provisioning to determine if the device is alive. Would it be possible to allow this to work with HTTPS ?

The current connector code appears to be:

                try:
                    with urllib.request.urlopen(
                        boot_check_url, timeout=5
                    ) as response:
                        if response.status == 200:
                            return True
                        logger.info(
                            "Check returned %d, expecting 200", response.status
                        )
                except urllib.error.URLError as e:
                    logger.info("Boot check failed with %s", e)

It looks like supplying an SSL context should fix it. Specifically, I do not want the device TLS certificate or hostname to be verified, to support different TLS schemes which may not rely on externally signed certificates.

import urllib2
import ssl

ctx = ssl.create_default_context()
ctx.check_hostname = False
ctx.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE

urllib2.urlopen("https://your-test-server.local", context=ctx)

Does this sound like a doable request ? I assume that supplying an SSL context does not prevent HTTP.
