ACTION-388: Rewrite Self-Signed Certificate Material

Per ACTION-388, I've tried to capture the face-to-face meeting's
discussion about self-signed certificates.  While I was on it, I've
also done some clean-up on the section on validated certificates,
and shuffled a bit of text around.

I've thrown away the old "proven" language (which a lot of people
didn't seem to like at the face-to-face), and am instead speaking of
"pinning" a self-signed certificate to a site.  That seemed closer
to the language we used to actually discuss and explain the notion.
