[issue34194] test_ssl, AIX, and defaults for _ssl connections

update: went back to check what worked, did not work without the environment variable set.

I am going to guess that pip(3) is able to make use of the environment variable SSL_CERT_FILE as pip download fails (in some cases) without it, but succeeds with it.

I thought to recall something similar while using git (mine leaning on python2-2.7) but I have not had the time to test it again (using git fetch and git pull from cpython).
