As an enhancement to #568, add a basic cross-platform CA certificate loading crate and make the download crate use it when compiled with rustls support.
The CA loader crate has seen preliminary testing on Windows, OS X, and a couple of Linux distros. It loads the system root CAs on all of those, with the caveats that a) on CentOS, the default CA bundle contains a line which is invalid UTF-8; a fix for rustls to be more robust is ready and a PR will be opened presently, b) Windows and OS X don't use any kind of local policy to filter out certificates, so all certs which can be enumerated are trusted, c) *BSDs, Android, and Solaris haven't seen any testing.
The loader crate presently lacks any documentation and its error handling is rudimentary. That is being worked on.
