Allow to use self-hosted gitlab instances with own CA cert chain

Description of the bug

Hi,

currently it's not possible to use git-cliff with a self-hosted GitLab instance that uses an own CA for example with self-signed certificates.

A possible solution would be to use the rustls-tls-native-roots feature instead of rustls-tls for reqwest or provide a similar CLI argument like uv in https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/2362

Steps To Reproduce

1. Setup a GitLab instance with a self-signed CA
2. Set GITLAB_REPO, GITLAB_TOKEN and GITLAB_API_URL environment variables
3. Run git-cliff

Expected behavior

git-cliff can request information from a self-hosted GitLab instance using an own CA cert chain

Hey, thanks for reporting!

The possible solution you recommended looks solid, would you be down to implement it? 🐻 I can also try it out but it would be easier if you already have an environment to test it out.

Sorry missed your answer. Sadly I have no experience with rust yet and therefore I don't think I can provide a good PR :-(

I am encountering the same issue. Any chance for this to be implemented soon?

Now implemented in #1021, it's going to be the part of the release that I'm planning to push tomorrow.

Testing it would be appreciated!
