Deprecate *Unauthorized Certificates* support

@olivierlambert Yep

Do you mean a modal when we connect to the server, giving some info on the cert, right? (with a validate or refuse option)

I found no solution to accept all types of invalid certificates with the node:https and node:tls libraries. The best solution I found only accepts self-signed certificates, by asking for the certificate and then passing this certificate as CA (see #7363).

I tried using the checkServerIdentity parameter of https.request, but the function passed as this parameter seems to be executed only when rejectUnauthorized = true and if the host is not rejected.

If we want to keep searching how to accept all these different invalied certificates, maybe we should try to look at some other libraries, as I did not found resources on this topic with these node libraries.
