Prior to this patch, unless SSL_CA_CERT_FILE is set in the environment, libfetch will set the CA file to "/usr/local/etc/cert.pem" if it exists, and to "/etc/ssl/cert.pem" otherwise. This has the consequence of masking SSL_CA_CERT_PATH, because OpenSSL will ignore the CA path if a CA file is set but fails to load (see X509_STORE_load_locations()).
While here, fall back to OpenSSL defaults if neither SSL_CA_CERT_FILE nor SSL_CA_CERT_PATH are set in the environment, and if neither of the libfetch default CA files exists.
