[bug] Use BrowserLikePolicyForHTTPS for checking

While testing the way that its implemented now, I found out that no check
is being made on certificate attributes against the host.
I found this simple way of creating a BrowserLikePolicyForHTTPS using
a self signed cert and it worked on my test. I used test_https from
Soledad for checking this (which we are fixing on another branch).

Also, we don't want to depend on twisted for other things than
leap.common.http.
