ssl_verify_mode :verify_peer by default in knife.rb

[jyotty]

It looks like knife solo cook tries to do this as of #363, but since the default in chef < 12 is :verify_none that doesn't work. The if defined? ::Chef bit is courtesy of berkshelf's reimplementation of the Chef DSL, which will throw an exception otherwise.

With Chef 12 on the horizon this may be of limited use, but since I've been using this for a while I figure other people will find this useful. (Though, if you're a terrible person and TLS verification won't work in your environment, it will be more obvious how to turn it off.)

Coverage remained the same when pulling b1d91f4 on jyotty:ssl-verify into 7f9f69d on matschaffer:master.

Seems reasonable enough to me. Thanks!
