This short PR exposes an openssl flag that wasn't exposed. I've also updated to doc to reflect the change. It's heavily inspired by 990fcaa.

+   Possible value for :attr:`SSLContext.verify_flags`. It instructs OpenSSL to
+   accept intermediate CAs in the trust store to be treated as trust-anchors,
+   in the same way as the self-signed root CA certificates. This makes it
+   possible to trust certificates issued by an intermediate CA without having
+   to trust its ancestor root CA.
