sebingel 0aa4536983 makes PIHOLEAPI report a failed TLS certificate check as such
With "Verify SSL" working, the login request checks the Pi-hole
certificate when that setting is on. In a live test with the setting on
and Pi-hole behind a reverse proxy with an untrusted certificate, the
login failed with "Connection error during Pi-hole auth. Check
PIHOLEAPI_URL and PIHOLEAPI_PASSWORD", although URL and password were
right. requests.exceptions.SSLError is a subclass of ConnectionError, so
the certificate error fell into that branch.

Changes:
- pihole_api_auth() catches requests.exceptions.SSLError before
  ConnectionError (server/plugins/pihole_api_scan/pihole_api_scan.py) and
  logs: "TLS certificate check failed during Pi-hole auth: <error>. Turn
  off PIHOLEAPI_VERIFY_SSL if Pi-hole uses a self-signed certificate."
- test/plugins/test_pihole_api_scan_verify_ssl.py: _login_failure() runs
  pihole_api_auth() with a failing login request.
  test_certificate_error_points_to_verify_ssl_setting checks the new
  message (fails without this change);
  test_plain_connection_error_still_points_to_url_and_password checks
  that other connection errors keep the old one.

Impact:
A user who turns on "Verify SSL" while Pi-hole uses a self-signed or
otherwise untrusted certificate gets a log line that names the cause and
the setting. Other connection errors are reported as before.
