Fix for rubygems SSL certificate error on Windows

SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed
  1. Download R1 GlobalSign Root Certificate: https://secure.globalsign.net/cacert/Root-R1.crt
  2. Save it somewhere local, so you can easily access it from a command prompt.
  3. Convert to a PEM file. openssl x509 -in Root-R1.crt -out GlobalSignRootR1.pem -outform PEM -inform DEF
  4. Copy the new GlobalSignRootR1.pem file that it creates into: D:\Ruby23-x64\lib\ruby\2.3.0\rubygems\ssl_certs\ <-- this path will obviously be different depending on where you've got Ruby installed!
