Do not enable TLS certificate revocation checks by default (#553)

This addresses an issue where network requests may fail if cert revocation checks
error, which may occur due to availability issues, or due to lack of internet access.

Revocation checking can still be enabled by setting JVM property com.sun.net.ssl.checkRevocation if on the JVM.

Also:
* Load built-in certs from resources, and move them to pkl-commons-cli
* Fix an issue where HttpInitException is not caught when loading a module
