tests: add test for empty CA certs file

smf reported that an environment with no loaded CA certs resulted
in a weird error. I'd like to detect this a bit better so we can
display an actionable error message.

The actual error being globbed over in this patch is "unknown error"
with a ssl.c line number. That isn't useful at all.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
