http-api-client: T8955: enable TLS verification by defaultfix/T8955-http-api-verify-tls

ApiClientConfig.verify_tls defaulted to False and ApiClient unconditionally
silenced urllib3's InsecureRequestWarning, so TLS peer verification was off by
default. The sole consumer, src/op_mode/config_sync.py, builds the client
without passing verify_tls and therefore connected to a *remote* secondary VyOS
node over HTTPS without verifying the certificate -- a MITM exposure on the
channel that carries the API key and the full configuration.

- ApiClientConfig.verify_tls now defaults to True and accepts Union[bool, str];
  a string is forwarded to requests as a CA bundle path (verify=<path>).
- InsecureRequestWarning is suppressed only when verification is explicitly
  disabled (verify_tls is False), not when a CA path or True is set.
- config_sync reads an optional verify_tls from the secondary runtime settings,
  defaulting to False to preserve current behaviour for self-signed secondaries.
  The insecurity is now explicit at the call site instead of hidden in the
  library default. A first-class CLI knob (set service config-sync secondary
  verify-tls / ca-certificate, with XML + migration) is the follow-up.
