tls: Call SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths by default
This removes the hard dependency on a CA bundle file existing in the
default path (which seems to not be the case on Debian, for example),
but results in a subtle behaviour change: if the CA bundle file does not
exist, the CA directory will be used instead, rather than failing hard.

I believe the only reason libtls insists on loading a CA bundle file
itself is so that it can be sandboxed afterwards, given that a file is
loaded all at once while a directory is only loaded as needed. If the
default CA bundle file exists, SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths will
still immediately load it, so sandboxing will still work. If it doesn't
exist, then the CA directory will be used, which will work well for
unsandboxed applications, but will likely fail during verification as it
tries to search the directory. Either way, if the CA bundle file does
not exist, a sandboxed application will not work. Enabling the use of
the CA directory, however, will allow more unsandboxed applications to
work.

Finally, to restore the original behaviour, an application can call
tls_config_set_ca_file(3) with the path returned by
tls_default_ca_cert_file(3).

oesn't look right unless there is only one channel listed in the status. 2019-02-22Add /znc commandJune McEnroe Only because ZNC tells you to use it and expects it to work. 2019-02-22Update status line after scrolling and term eventsJune McEnroe 2019-02-22Reorganize input.cJune McEnroe 2019-02-22Fix name of <raw> window in man pageJune McEnroe 2019-02-22Rename global tags with angle bracketsJune McEnroe 2019-02-22Show status window while connectingJune McEnroe 2019-02-22Reorganize UI code for the umpteenth timeJune McEnroe It's actually in a good state now, I think. 2019-02-21Replace "view" with "window"June McEnroe I think originally I didn't want to use the same word as curses WINDOW but it's really much clearer for the user if they're just called windows. UI code probably needs yet another rewrite though. Still feels messy. 2019-02-21Remove ROT13June McEnroe It's just not convenient when it can only do the whole line... 2019-02-21Clean up man pageJune McEnroe 2019-01-26Draw UI before connectingJune McEnroe Otherwise the "Traveling" message isn't visible while connecting. 2019-01-25Avoid unused variable warnings with getyxJune McEnroe 2019-01-25Add GNU/Linux build instructionsJune McEnroe
