If a server's certificate isn't accepted by send-email, the output is:
	Unable to initialize SMTP properly. Check config and use --smtp-debug.

but adding --smtp-debug=1 just produces the same output since we don't get as far as talking SMTP.

Turning on SSL debug at level 1 gives:
	DEBUG: .../IO/Socket/SSL.pm:1796: SSL connect attempt failed error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed
	DEBUG: .../IO/Socket/SSL.pm:673: fatal SSL error: SSL connect attempt failed error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed
	DEBUG: .../IO/Socket/SSL.pm:1780: IO::Socket::IP configuration failed

IO::Socket::SSL defines level 1 debug as "print out errors from IO::Socket::SSL and ciphers from Net::SSLeay". In fact, it aliases Net::SSLeay::trace which is defined to guarantee silence at level 0 and only emit error messages at level 1, so let's enable it by default.

The modification of warnings is needed to avoid a warning about:
	Name "IO::Socket::SSL::DEBUG" used only once: possible typo

Sorry about the delay following up with this.

I don't particularly like the need for brackets and modifying the warnings here, but AFAIK there is no other way to avoid a warning that is likely to upset users (although I am far from a Perl expert).
