Add a Warning if server use blocked (by common browsers like Chrome or FF) Startssl/WoSign cert, please

May be able to cheat from Chrome's recent work:

This would have saved me hours of frustration trying to figure out what is wrong. See Installing StartSSL certificate under Apache gives SEC_ERROR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE in Firefox and ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID in Chrome

For certificates that are signed after October 21, 2016, the rating should be downgraded to F because most major browsers no longer trust the certs. For certificates before October 21, it should be a big warning that Firefox may stop trusting the cert after March 2017. See Distrusting New WoSign and StartCom Certificates | Mozilla Security Blog

Notably, Chrome already distrusts some StartCom certs issued before 10/16/2016, and will eventually distrust them all.

With the release of Chrome 57 which seems to block all sites that use any certificate from StartSSL this becomes even more important.

Indeed. Note that there are still exceptions - the Chrome blocking of StartCom currently omits domains appearing in the Alexa top 500K.

Could the work that was done for this be generalized into accomplishing #477?
