feat(transport): Use env vars for default CA cert bundle location (#3160

)

Many libraries use the SSL_CERT_FILE environment variable to point at a
CA bundle to use for HTTPS certificate verification. This is often used
in corporate environments with internal CAs or HTTPS hijacking proxies,
where the Sentry server presents a certificate not signed by one of the
CAs bundled with Certifi. Additionally, Requests, Python's most popular
HTTP client library, uses the REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE variable instead.

Use the SSL_CERT_FILE or REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE vars if present to set the
default CA bundle.

Fixes GH-3158
