Splitting this out of #71.

acmed is currently renewing certificates with a fixed offset from the expiry of the certificate. It's configurable, but defaults to 3 weeks. The recommendation from Let's Encrypt here is a third of the certificate lifetime, so that means 30 days before expiry. The default should therefore probably be changed here.

Another thing to do about scheduling renewals, to help acme providers with load spikes, is adding some randomization to the renewal time. Let's Encrypt suggests to space out certificate renewals by renewing some certificates a few days early. This is difficult to implement with the current architecture, but should be nearly trivial to implement once the async rewrite is done.
