Remove flags from wget and curl instructing them to ignore bad server
certificates. Although other mechanisms can protect against malicious
modifications of downloads, other vectors of attack may be available
to an adversary.
TLS certificate verification can be disabled by turning oof the
"Enable TLS certificate verification during package download" option
enabled by default in the "Global build settings" in "make menuconfig"

* base-files: add option to make /var persistent
In OpenWrt, /var is symlinked to /tmp by default. This is done to reduce
the amount of writes to the flash chip, which often have not the
greatest durability. As a result, things like DHCP or UPnP lease files,
are not persistent across reboots.
Since OpenWrt can run on devices with more durable storage, it makes
sense to have an option for a persistent /var. Add an option to make
/var persistent. When enabled, /var will no longer be symlinked to /tmp,
but /var/run will be symlink to /tmp/run, as it should contains only
files that should not be kept during reboot. The option is off by
default, to maintain the current behaviour.

* base-files: fix option to make /var persistent
The option was initially named TARGET_ROOTFS_LN_VAR_TMP, and the check
was correct. When renaming the option to something more suitable, the
check was changed to check for n, but when an option is not set, it's
not n but empty. This results in the check always evaluating to false.
Fix the check by checking for y with ifneq.
