[bug#70674] [PATCH core-updates 0/1] Allow cargo to use custom SSL certificates

[Jean-Baptiste Note]

Cargo, just like git, allows certificate validation against a customized set
of certificates. Add the required native-path for this, just like
GIT_SSL_CAINFO for git.

Jean-Baptiste Note (1):
  gnu: rust: Add CARGO_HTTP_CAINFO to native-search-path.

[bug#70674] [PATCH core-updates 1/1] gnu: rust: Add CARGO_HTTP_CAINFO to native-search-path.

[Jean-Baptiste Note]

* gnu/packages/rust.scm (rust-1.55): Add CARGO_HTTP_CAINFO native-search-path
so that Cargo honors custom certificates (a la GIT_SSL_CAINFO).
