Add WebSocketClient::enable_server_hostname_verification

WebSocketClient's TLS setup already threaded
ClientTlsSessionOptions::server_hostname_verification through
setup_client_tls_session(), the same path SSLClient uses, but never
exposed a way to set it: create_stream() called setup_client_tls_session()
without an options argument, so the default (verification on) was the
only reachable value.

Add the public setter, mirroring ClientImpl/SSLClient/Client, and wire
it into create_stream()'s ClientTlsSessionOptions. Last open item from
issue #2531's WebSocketClient/SSLClient API alignment.
