    Fix CA file for API client
    
    If a custom CA file is configured via OPENSTACK_SSL_CACERT, currently
    communication with Keystone will fail, since the session is not created
    using this CA file.
    
    This change fixes the issue by passing the path to the CA file to the
    keystoneauth session constructor.
