Description

__Use case:__
InfluxDB OSS v2 allows to configure HTTPS with a self-signed certificate. But when you do this, influx CLI fails to verify TLS, and you need to pass the "--skip-verify" parameter on every call...

__Proposal:__
Save the "--skip-verify" mode in the "configs" file, in the same way as you save the URL, user, etc.

Research direction

Read the contributing section of the README, then inspect the Influx CLI's config handling and the configs file behavior. Confirm how URL and user settings are persisted, and define done as saving --skip-verify there so subsequent CLI calls reuse it without the flag.
