Allow adding root certificate

[M-Gregoire]

Problem/Motivation

I run my own PKI, all my services are exposed with HTTPS, were the certificate is signed by a root certificate authority.
I'm trying to access some services from node-red (Inside a docker managed by HassOS) but the HTTPS requests fails with:
"Error Message: unable to get local issuer certificate".

I wasn't able to find any way to add my root certificate so It can by accepted by node-red.
I also couldn't find any way to disable the SSL/TLS verification as a temporary fix. Modifying settings.js from inside the container being unpractical and not persistent between update.

Proposed changes

I would love to see options such as:

• verify_ssl: true
• authorized_ca: []

which would allow greater flexibility.

I'm sorry if there is already a work-around I'm not aware of.

I'm not aware of a correct workaround for this, however, adding options for this is not something I would consider either.

The reasoning is that this simply is a use case that is pretty much edge/not widely used. Adding these options makes things more complicated for users and above all, adds maintenance over time.

I understand your reasoning,
Thank you for your quick answer.
