Make the certificate wait time configurable.

Since OpenSSL doesn't let us set certificate start times in the past, the
client and proxy machine time must be synchronized, or the client might reject
the certificate. We can bodgy over small discrepancies by waiting a few seconds
after a new certificate is generated (i.e. the first time an SSL domain is contacted).

Make this a configurable option, and turn it off by default.
