ssl: on OS X, use a dummy cert to trick Python/OpenSSL to use system CA certs

This will give PKI-secure behaviour out of the box, without any configuration.

Setting web.cacerts to any value or empty will disable this trick.

This dummy cert trick only works on OS X 10.6+, but 10.5 had Python 2.5 which
didn't have certificate validation at all.

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

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.
