Can't read remote VCF files over https on Linux

[tomwhite]

This still happens with 0.30.9, and it was happening with 0.30.4 before too:

Python 3.8.11 (default, Jul  5 2021, 19:22:52)

>>> from cyvcf2 import VCF
>>> VCF('test.vcf.gz')

>>> VCF('https://github.com/brentp/cyvcf2/raw/master/cyvcf2/tests/test.vcf.gz')

If the file is local it works OK.

As @ccwang002 commented here this is likely to be due to how ssl is linked.
