src: check node_extra_ca_certs after openssl cfg

I recently discovered that the custom NodeJS specific OpenSSL config section in openssl.cnf would not be respected, if the environment variable `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` was set. This happens even if it contains an invalid value, i.e no actual certs are read. Someone suggested moving the checking of extra ca certs to after the OpenSSL config is read, and this seems to work.
