Add a setting for configuring the SSL certificates file
This provides a platform-independent way to configure the SSL
certificates file in the Nix daemon. Previously we provided
instructions for overriding the environment variable in launchd, but
that obviously doesn't work with systemd. Now we can just tell users
to add
ssl-cert-file = /etc/ssl/my-certificate-bundle.crt
to their nix.conf.
