Description
It is possible to use the --insecure option when adding a / deploying to a server that utilizes system certificates, but we should detect them automatically and may do this by adding a call to ssl.create_default_context here: https://github.com/rstudio/rsconnect-python/blob/master/rsconnect/http_support.py#L98
Note: If a server was added using the --insecure option we try and persist that setting in the server metadata.

Research direction
Start in rsconnect/http_support.py around line 98 and trace how certificate verification is configured for server connections. Check how the persisted --insecure setting is read and applied; done means system certificates are detected by default without overriding that saved setting.
