Ability to set Certificate Authority for a request or agent.

As of Node 0.10.0, rejectUnauthorized default value has been set to true meaning that tests that use HTTPS locally will now fail where superagent is used.

I suggest add the ability to set the options.ca so that self signed certificates will work with superagent.

The option ca in the https module accepts an authority certificate or array of authority certificates to check the remote host against.

See http://nodejs.org/api/https.html#https_https_request_options_callback

@gjohnson I think the better option is passing rejectUnauthorized to the request rather than ignoring security for the entire process with NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0.

Adding the CA works in some cases, and should be kept as a feature, but if you are trying to secure an IP, node will always throw a match error, even if you pass the cert as a ca.

I’ll throw in a PR if you agree.
