Description of the bug

I need to connect to a self-hosted Gitlab instance with a self-signed certificate. However, even though I have added the cert to the OS trust store, git-cliff still fails with:

ERROR git_cliff_core::changelog > Failed to lookup project! HTTP client with middleware error: `error sending request for url (https://my-gitlab.domain.com/api/v4/projects/my%2Fproject)`
thread 'main' panicked at git-cliff-core/src/changelog.rs:458:18:
Could not get gitlab metadata: HttpClientMiddlewareError(Middleware(error sending request for url (https://my-gitlab.domain.com/api/v4/projects/my%2Fproject)

Caused by:
    0: client error (Connect)
    1: invalid peer certificate: UnknownIssuer))
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

I believe this is because rustls does not use the OS trust store.

Steps To Reproduce

export GITLAB_TOKEN=...
export GITLAB_API_URL=https://my-gitlab.domain.com/api/v4
git-cliff ... --gitlab-repo=my/project

Expected behavior

git-cliff command executes successfully.
