curl: mitigate migration to OpenSSL on Linux

The problem is that curl 8.3.0 removed the NSS backend, so we now
have no other choice than to use the bundled OpenSSL on Linux.

Currently any curl https connection fails with:

CurlSession.cxx:963: curl_easy_perform failed: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

Apparently this requires manually telling curl which CA certificates to
trust; there is a configure flag --with-ca-bundle but that is useless as
it tries to load the file relative to whatever is the current working
directory, and also did i mention that there are at least 3 different
locations where a Linux system may store its system trusted CA
certificates because ALL ABOUT CHOICE.

So add a new header with an init function to try out various file
locations listed in this nice blog article and call it from way too many
places that independently use curl.

TODO: perhaps bundle a cacert.pem as a fallback in case the system chose
to innovate by putting its certificates in yet another unexpected place

(regression from commit c2930ebff82c4f7ffe8377ab82627131f8544226)
