[Feature Request] Enable us to provide a CA file to validate the certificate against in the HTTP state backend

[hypervtechnics]

Current Terraform Version

Terraform v0.15.1
on linux_amd64

Your version of Terraform is out of date! The latest version
is 1.0.1. You can update by downloading from https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html

(Yeah, I know it is not the newest version, but this feature does not exist in the new versions too. 😄)

Use-cases

In cases where the HTTP backend is secured by a self-signed CA it would be greate to be able to reference it explicitly rather than creating a security issue by using skip_cert_verification = true.

Attempted Solutions

Using skip_cert_verification = true which is insecure in such scenarios.

Proposal

Provide an option similar to git.
