cacert: decouple from NSS to reduce rebuild amount
In [#100765] @vcunat pointed out that we could decouple cacert from the
NSS package to make it more rebuild friendly. Just rebuilding packages
that depend on NSS seems to be about ~100. Rebuilding all the packages
that depend on cacert is >9k as of this writing. This makes it much more
feasible to upgrade high-profile packages that are (rightfully) pedantic
on their NSS version like firefox and thunderbird.

# Build both the cacert package and an overriden version where we use the source attribute of NSS.
# Cacert and NSS are both from the same upstream sources. They are decoupled as
# the cacert output only cares about a few infrequently changing files in the
# sources while the NSS source code changes frequently.
#
# By having cacert on a older source revision that produces the same
# certificate output as a newer version we can avoid large amounts of
# unnecessary rebuilds.
#
# As of this writing there are a few magnitudes more packages depending on
# cacert than on nss.
