Skip interstitials and don't block requests for localhost SSL errors
For now this behavior is behind a flag, because there are some weird
cases where localhost certificate errors could indicate a real security
problem (see https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=282927
for more detail).
BUG=282927
TEST=Set up HTTPS server on localhost with a bad certificate, visit
https://localhost and observe no interstitial
