Solved in two ways:
- pwb.py uses the built-in httplib2 if no other httplib2 is installed
- the suggested httplib2 to install is our own
(https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/83370/)
In the future, we might also override the built-in httplib2 if someone uses
pwb.py (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/82591/)

** [bugs:#1656] Making HTTPS requests by default breaks pywikibot on all
non-Ubuntu systems and in virtual environemnts**

httplib2 includes its own list of trusted certificates at
https://code.google.com/p/httplib2/source/browse/python2/httplib2/cacerts.txt -
the DigiCert certificate at the top of wikimedias certificate chain is not
included in there so you can't make any requests. This works in Ubuntu because
they patched the httplib2 package to use the system certificate store.
