…tificates This change adds support for the BC_CA_BUNDLE environment variable in the GitGetter._clone() function. When set, it configures GIT_SSL_CAINFO to use the specified CA bundle file, enabling git clone operations to work with on-prem GitLab/GitHub instances that use self-signed or custom CA certificates. Changes: - Modified _clone() to check for BC_CA_BUNDLE env var - When BC_CA_BUNDLE is set, GIT_SSL_CAINFO is configured with its value - PROXY_URL settings take precedence over BC_CA_BUNDLE - Added unit tests for the new functionality Usage: export BC_CA_BUNDLE=/path/to/ca-bundle.crt checkov -d . --download-external-modules true

Updated the code to use env_vars_config from checkov.common.util.env_vars_config
instead of directly calling os.getenv(). This follows the project's pattern for
handling environment variables.
Changes:
- Import env_vars_config instead of os
- Use env_vars_config.BC_CA_BUNDLE instead of os.getenv('BC_CA_BUNDLE')
- Use env_vars_config.PROXY_* instead of os.getenv('PROXY_*')
- Updated tests to mock env_vars_config instead of os.environ
