Minor Changes

* Changed `splunklib/binding.py` Context class' constructor initialization to support default settings for encrypted http communication when creating the HttpLib object that it depends on. This is extracted from the keyword dictionary that is provided for its initializaiton. Encryption defaults to enabled if not specified.
* Changed `splunklib/binding.py` HttpLib class constructor to include the `verify` parameter in order to support default encryption if the default handler is being used. Encryption defaults to enabled if not specified.
* Changed `splunklib/binding.py` `handler` function to include the `verify` parameter in order to support default encryption.
* Changed `splunklib/binding.py` `handler`'s nested `connect` function to create the context in as unverified if specified by the `verify` parameter.
