    Adjust certificate validate() TODO comment
    
    George is absolutely right that this method is too specific to server
    descriptors, but I cannot find the generic "validate()" method he's
    referring to. Just reached out to him on irc to discuss this.
    
    If we have a generic method that applies to both server and hidden
    service descriptors I'd be delighted to deprecate this, but for the
    moment at least I'm unsure how to proceed with this.
