osx: install dummy web.cacerts to enable use of system keychain

On Mac OS X 10.6 and higher, OpenSSL (which is what Python and therefore
Mercurial use to implement their SSL support) will look in the system keychain.
Unfortunately, the SSL code in the Python core doesn't allow for this
situation---it always expects you to specify a certificate bundle, and if one
is specified if must contain at least one certificate.

The ship a pem file with a certificate the expired before it began so it can't
contain any backdoor.
