[HTTPS-Everywhere] CA requirement

We could do much more to work around cert warnings (perhaps not self-signed
ones, but a more likely example would be cases like Akamai certs for sites'
CDN domains) if this API were
implemented:

Frustratingly, I think that about a year or so back someone pointed me to a
hack we might be able to use to work around this problem even without a proper
API, but I can no longer find that code example.
