[webrtc-pc] either full check certs or explain why it's not necessary (4.4.1.1 Constructor)

samuelweiler has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-pc:

== either full check certs or explain why it's not necessary (4.4.1.1 Constructor) ==
4.4.1.1 tells the user agent to check a certification expiration but not anything else. ("If the certificates value in configuration is non-empty, check that the expires on each value is in the future.")  Harold has argued that this certificate is just a carrier and that checking the expiry here is a user experience enhancement only - it has no security benefit.  If he's right, please add a sentence or two explaining that.  If he's wrong, then some other things in the cert likely need to be checked.
