Add ability to turn off STARTTLS

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For SageAlert, if a server advertises STARTTLS, the client will use it. It will 
fail on self-signed SSL certificates. It would be nice to have a way to disable 
this, or a way to make it accept all certificates.

SageAlert has basically been dormant since the Google acquisition and I don't 
expect that to change anytime soon.  If I do another update to this plugin I'll 
definitely add this in.

As a workaround, you can try to implement the following:

See the section "Trusted Certificates", option #2.  I'm not sure if you can 
point the SageTV JVM instance to a custom keystore, but if you can then that's 
how you can work around this issue.
