darwinssl: Warn that disabling host verify also disables SNI
In DarwinSSL the SSLSetPeerDomainName function is used to enable both
sending SNI and verifying the host. When host verification is disabled
the function cannot be called, therefore SNI is disabled as well.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1240
