Fix: SSL error in bundled/frozen application

Depending on the packaged libcrypto on Unix systems the cacerts default
paths might differ
(see: pyinstaller/pyinstaller#7229).
To get an actually portable solution we use certifi's bundled cacerts
(CAs approved by Mozilla).
Since that is not what users may want and the bundled cacerts might
be outdated we added a config option for this, so a user can
set the environment variable `SSL_CERT_FILE` themselves
