Description

Keybase GUI Version: 5.6.0-20210122182953+f50a180af7

Running `keybase config set proxy_ca_certs c:\cacert\cacert.pem` causes the app to get stuck on next start.
There is a message `Loading... Send us feedback! Run keybase log send from terminal.`

Running `keybase log send` doesn't work:

```
C:\Users\USERNAME> keybase log send
- ERROR Failed to configure API access: In config file c: open c: The system cannot find the file specified.
```

The certificate file is valid and works with various other programs in conjunction with proxy.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows commands `keybase config set proxy_ca_certs c:\cacert\cacert.pem` and `keybase log send`, then trace how the `proxy_ca_certs` path is read during GUI startup and log submission. Done means the GUI starts normally with a valid certificate path and `keybase log send` can configure API access.
