Simon DodsleyandClaude Opus 4.8 763a76ddd3 Pure Storage FlashBlade: verify SSL certificate by default
The FlashBlade share driver unconditionally called disable_verify_ssl()
during do_setup(), leaving the management connection to the array with no
certificate verification and open to man-in-the-middle attacks, with no
way for an operator to enable verification.

This adds two configuration options:

* flashblade_ssl_cert_verify (boolean, default True) - verify the
  certificate presented by the FlashBlade management interface.
* flashblade_ca_cert_path (string) - optional path to a CA certificate
  bundle used for verification, for self-signed or private CAs.

Certificate verification is now enabled by default. Deployments using a
self-signed or private CA certificate must supply the CA bundle via
flashblade_ca_cert_path, install it in the system trust store, or
explicitly set flashblade_ssl_cert_verify = False to retain the previous
behaviour.

The driver version is also bumped to 11.0.0 for the 2026.2 (Hibiscus)
release.

This addresses the insecure-by-default driver concerns raised in the
openstack-discuss security documentation thread.
