Allow users to include ssl_sa_certs via env vars for kfp_tekton client

[harshad16]

What changes were proposed in this pull request?

As the pipeline editor fails to connect to an unsecured pipeline server due to a certs issue, this PR includes an environment variable that can be pointed to the ssl_cert, which would be used for setting up the connection.

KF_PIPELINES_SSL_SA_CERTS can be set with cert path.

and ssl_ca_cert var would be set with the value and passed to kfp SDK.

Fixes: #3149

This only allows for one global cert path, should we actually add a config on the runtime metadata to allow passing this on the UI per server?

Is the idea that a site could target multiple KFP clusters (e.g., dev, test, and production) where the "valid" certs vary from target to target?

This makes sense, although I don't recall what the overhead is to extend runtime configurations with an optional property. Does this require UI work or is that portion dynamic?

@lresende @kevin-bates thanks for the comments If we want to provide this option via runtime configurations then it would require UI change.

With this my idea, was the simply provide a way for user with unsecured cluster to utilize the feature of elyra pipeline , with a simple env var set. as i understand from the notes, the insecure cluster support for overall elyra feature is not in avenue of development for now.

Nice work, I like this current proposed no-frills way

LGTM, could you also provide a little update to the docs mentioning the var so that other users can leverage it.

@lresende , sorry totally missed this PR. As you instructed, I updated the docs with details. PTAL, at your convenience
