SSL Error When downloading dataset

Hi, I'm checking them.

I can just bypass the SSL verification by passing verify=False into the get request, for both gat and gcn.
But I'm not sure if it causes any security issues or not. @msaroufim

    # Load the dataset
    cora_url = 'https://linqs-data.soe.ucsc.edu/public/lbc/cora.tgz'
    path = './cora'

    if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(path, 'cora.content')) and os.path.isfile(os.path.join(path, 'cora.cites')):
        print('Dataset already downloaded...')
    else:
        print('Downloading dataset...')
        with requests.get(cora_url, stream=True, verify=False) as tgz_file:
            with tarfile.open(fileobj=tgz_file.raw, mode='r:gz') as tgz_object:
                tgz_object.extractall()

@ebrahimpichka so because this works in CI with no issues what we can do is add an option to argparser to pass in an no-ssl flag which would disable verification. if you wanna send me a PR for that i can merge easily
