DRILL-8503: Add Configuration Option to Skip Host Validation for Splunk
Description
in corporate installations, sometimes the organization will use self-signed certificates which can cause problems. This PR adds an option to bypass host validation for SSL connections in Splunk. The "correct" way to fix this would be to provide better SSL information, to include the certificate in the Splunk connection, however, Splunk's SDK does not allow for this and there are several open issues and PRs relating to this.
This PR also bumps the Splunk SDK version to the latest version which is 1.9.5.
Documentation
An additional configuration option: validateHostnames has been added to the Splunk configuration. I updated the README.md file with this information and will be updating the documentation once this has been merged.
