Allow disabling SSL requirement about zulip HOT 8 CLOSED

Manually commenting out the SSL bits in the nginx config seems to make things work fine.

@yuvipanda Can you tell me where you did this? Which nginx config file?

Hello @zulip/server-production members, this issue was labeled with the area: production label, so you may want to check it out!

I think this would be a pretty easy thing to support with a zulipconf puppet option.

This is now possible without manual commenting by setting a block of this form:

[application_server]
http_only = true

and then setting EXTERNAL_URI_SCHEME to be http://.

That said, given Certbot, I'm not sure there's a strong use case for this other than quick testing (we added that option so that we can support an option in the Docker container to not use HTTP for that purpose).

It is useful when running zulip in Kubernetes for example, using cert-manager to manage all TLS certificates.

Yes, and that's what this feature is for. See the DISABLE_HTTPS setting in https://github.com/zulip/docker-zulip

I can't find it in the README, however grepping the repository yields results. Thank you!
