Please use certifi library #39

Description

When I use the Vale Python package I am getting the unfortunate error:

ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1007)

Fixing this requires finding the OS or Python install certificate bundle and updating it, which is hard for less technical users. If the vale self installer used the certifi package instead, the fix is as simple and platform independent as

pip install -U certifi

The code chane is small too:

>>> import certifi
>>> certifi_context = ssl.create_default_context(cafile=certifi.where())
>>> urlopen("...", context=certifi_context)
