services: hpcguix-web: Set SSL_CERT_DIR.
Previously Git pulls over HTTPS would fail with: guix/git.scm:132:7: In procedure update-cached-checkout: Throw to key `git-error' with args `(#<<git-error> code: -17 message: "the SSL certificate is invalid" class: 16>)'. * gnu/services/web.scm (hpcguix-web-shepherd-service): Pass "SSL_CERT_DIR=/etc/ssl/certs". * doc/guix.texi (Web Services): Mention certificates.
