setup.py: incorrect dependency link

[dairiki]

Setuptools’ setup.py adds a link for certifi to dependency_links. The link it adds (https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/c/certifi/certifi-2016.9.26.tar.gz) is broken (404.)

I'm not totally sure what's going on here. My guess is that PyPI has changed how downloads are filed. (Older packages seem to still be available under /packages/source, but recently released packages appear not to be.)

In any case, this breaks zc.buildout — at least for me. Buildout picks up the broken dependency link from the setuptools egg and uses it (unsuccessfully) if an attempt is made to install certifi==2016.9.26.

Work-around for zc.buildout: Assuming that the use of dependency_links is not required for your project, set use-depedency-links = false in buildout.cfg.

@dstufft Do you know what URL setuptools should use for these dependency links?
