sslutil: allow multiple fingerprints per host
Certificate pinning via [hostfingerprints] is a useful security
feature. Currently, we only support one fingerprint per hostname.
This is simple but it fails in the real world:
* Switching certificates breaks clients until they change the
pinned certificate fingerprint. This incurs client downtime
and can require massive amounts of coordination to perform
certificate changes.
* Some servers operate with multiple certificates on the same
hostname.
This patch adds support for defining multiple certificate
fingerprints per host. This overcomes the deficiencies listed
above. I anticipate the primary use case of this feature will
be to define both the old and new certificate so a certificate
transition can occur with minimal interruption, so this scenario
has been called out in the help documentation.
