QNetworkReply: add possibility to ignore specific SSL errors

the same method was also added to QSslSocket.
previously, it was only possible to ignore all SSL errors; now, it is
also possible to only ignore specific SSL errors, given by a QList of
QSslErrors.
Moreover, it is possible to call this newly added method right after
connecting, not just when we get the SSL error.
