Sometimes corporations will have MITM proxies re-signing all their HTTPS traffic with their own certs. Our daemon-based installer currently fails under this scenario, because it forces its own set of certificates.
The daemonless installer, however, allowed installers to override the cert environment variable.
This PR brings the daemon-based installer in line feature-wise, and documents the feature.
I would like to backport this.
Closes #2180, #1896, #1211 (I think?)
