Default value of tls-checktrust should be 'ask

the subject says it all.  ;-)

The current default is nil, which means that server certificates are not
checked which is a bad thing.  Not checking the certificate means, that
SSL/TLS connections, which are supposed to be "save" (and most users
will believe they are) are really not trustworthy.
