[PATCH] FAQ: add two entries concerning 'sslcacertfile'

[Daniel Shahaf]

I used ^D in the example because redirecting stdin from /dev/null didn't work in my testing then.  But it works now, so +1 to adjust the example.

Could also use '> /path/to/sslcacertfile' instead of a shell/perl variable syntax, I'm indifferent re that.
