Verify TLS certificates w/ wget in fetch-params.sh

Per NCC-2016-017, wget was being run with `--no-check-certificate`, which means that the connection can be man-in-the-middled, even if we are verifying the integrity of the parameters later via hash sums.
The rationale cited in the Bash comments does not stand up to scrutiny. There's really no persuasive reason not to verify certificates.

Fixes #1346.
