download: Verify TLS certificates unless asked not to.

Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/24466>.
Reported by Leo Famulari <leo@famulari.name>.

* guix/build/download.scm (%x509-certificate-directory): New variable.
(make-credendials-with-ca-trust-files, peer-certificate)
(assert-valid-server-certificate, print-tls-certificate-error): New
procedures.  Add 'print-tls-certificate-error' as an exception printer
for 'tls-certificate-error'.
(tls-wrap): Add #:verify-certificate? parameter and honor it.
(open-connection-for-uri): Likewise.
(http-fetch): Likewise.
(url-fetch): Likewise.
* guix/download.scm (url-fetch)[builder]: Pass #:verify-certificate? #f.
* guix/scripts/lint.scm (probe-uri): Add case for 'tls-certificate-error'.
(validate-uri): Likewise.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix download): Mention 'SSL_CERT_DIR'.
