What is the feature and why do you need it:
Since Python 3.13 RFC 5280 compliance is strictly enforced by default with the ssl.VERIFY_X509_STRICT flag. While kubernetes.aio.client.configuration.Configuration does have the option disable_strict_ssl_verification it is still missing for kubernetes.client.configuration.Configuration.
Describe the solution you'd like to see:
Implement patches for kubernetes.client.configuration.Configuration and kubernetes.client.rest.RESTClientObject to add support for disable_strict_ssl_verification similar to how it's been handled for the async client.
