Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Create http_check.yml in conf.d directory:

init_config: ~
instances:
  - name: github
    url: https://status.github.com/api/status.json
    content_match: 'major'
    reverse_content_match: true
    ca_certs: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
    disable_ssl_validation: true
    skip_event: true
    tags:
      - url:https://status.github.com/api/status.json
      - service:github

2. Build below docker file(using your own api key)

FROM datadog/docker-dd-agent:latest-alpine
ENV API_KEY=<API_KEY>
COPY conf.d /conf.d

2. Run the docker image
3. Check the agent info command:

initialize check class [ERROR]: OSError('Unable to locate embedded directory. Please specify ca_certs in your http yaml configuration file.',)

Describe the results you received:
The http_check integration fails due to cert error.
It appears to be searching in a embedded/* path.

Describe the results you expected:
I expected that if I specify ca_certs then it would not try to get the default cert path of "embedded/ssl/certs". It would load the path that i passed and continue on.
