[#519] correct regression with server_verify_mode of "none"

[d-w-moore]

Seems good. Has this been tested?

These changes were tested pre-review but not yet post-review. Likely I'll wait until after we've reviewed a few more PR's as a team and I've tested the changes all together, then we'll merge them all at once. That is just the more efficient way to do it at the moment, given the changes to the testing process that are in store for PRC v2.1.0

That sounds more error prone since you're handling multiple PRs, but if you feel that's the most efficient way to handle it on your end, then proceed.

I felt it was the most efficient, if not overall best, way. But I don't think it adds any extra opportunity for error, any more than the requisite Git mechanics.

Changing commit message to exclude #281 in head-line per https://github.com/irods/python-irodsclient/pull/508#issuecomment-1997374473

Tested and passing. To resolve "critical" codacy comment (re unexpected parameter ssl_dir) this PR should follow #527 in the merge order.

Squash to taste if ready, no pounds.

We'll hold on merging this one until #527 is merged.
