Description

There's currently no way to extend the system certificates for strict snaps. To cater for SSL-terminating proxies, we need to import /etc/ssl and /usr/share/ca-certificates from the host system.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to mount host system certificate directories (/etc/ssl and /usr/share/ca certificates) into the snap's filesystem namespace using snapcraft interfaces or layout declarations.
