Background
Some environments require all traffic to be decrypted and inspected by a centralized proxy. This is usually done by implementing MITM, where the proxy becomes a trusted Root Authority and the clients trust all certificates issued by it. Halibut security is based on certificate pinning, which breaks MITM.
This PoC proposes to support the first leg of MITM (halibut -> proxy) by adding an option to Halibut to allow it to trust any cert issued by a trusted root authority.

IClientCertificateValidatorandITrustProvideras they seem to be doing the same thing, just at 2 different ends of the connection.
