CLI automatically discovers and uses cacert from BSL for download requests

Signed-off-by: Tiger Kaovilai <tkaovila@redhat.com>

feat: Add CA cert fallback when caCertFile fails in download requests

- Fallback to BSL cert when caCertFile cannot be opened
- Combine certificate handling blocks to reuse CA pool initialization
- Add comprehensive unit tests for fallback behavior

This improves robustness by allowing downloads to proceed with BSL CA cert
when the provided CA cert file is unavailable or unreadable.
