Not easily.  glib-networking has simplified its handling of trust store,
it now leaves it up to the crypto implementation (GnuTLS), which is has
its trust store hard-coded to a fixed location.  Our best bet is to
apply a GnuTLS patch from Nix I've shared in #46779, potentially
polishing it a bit for upstream consideration.
