    Warn when performing certificate verification if server-identity is NULL
    
    It doesn't make sense for client connections to perform certificate
    verification if server-identity is NULL. The only reason this would ever
    not fail would be if the application is ignoring identity mismatches,
    which is always insecure. So if you're doing that, you deserve a
    warning. More likely, the programmer is just confused, and a warning
    will help.
    
    Failure to set server-identity stumped me for over an hour recently.
    Having a warning would have made the problem immediately obvious.
    
    Fixes #130
