Would it be sensible to enable tls verify by default with 8.0?
Or would that have to go through a longer "deprecation" period?

We've just added proper verification support to openssl, schannel and 
other backends already had it.
It's just default-disabled for some reason.
IMO it'd make sense to turn it on by default, it has surprised me and 
other people in the past that FFmpeg does not verify TLS certificates in 
any way by default.
