prepareSTSClientTransport tls function refactor (#244)

- Reading root ca certificates operation will run only once after Console
starts, reduce the chance of panics happening during runtime
- Fixed bug in which tls.config insecureSkipVerification configuration
  could get overrided after variable reasignation
