    Replace HTTPSConnection in NEC plugin
    
    Replace HTTPSConnection in NEC plugin PFC driver with Requests.
    
    SSL Verification is from now on enabled by default.
    
    This changes the default behaviour and is the primary intention of this
    change: verify SSL certificates.
    
    This might break existing configuration/setups where the SSL certificate
    used by the NEC PFC driver would not pass the verification.

  Some server-side 'SSL' communication fails to check certificates (use
  of HTTPSConnection)

Bug description:
  Grant Murphy from Red Hat reported usage of httplib.HTTPSConnection
  objects. In Python 2.x those do not perform CA checks so client
  connections are vulnerable to MiM attacks.

  """
  The following files use httplib.HTTPSConnection :
  keystone/middleware/s3_token.py
  keystone/middleware/ec2_token.py
  keystone/common/bufferedhttp.py
  vendor/python-keystoneclient-master/keystoneclient/middleware/auth_token.py

  AFAICT HTTPSConnection does not validate server certificates and
  should be avoided. This is fixed in Python 3, however in 2.X no
  validation occurs. I suspect this is also applicable to most OpenStack
  modules that make HTTPS client calls.

  Similar problems were found in ovirt:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851672 (CVE-2012-3533)
