Requests to create a repo in openbmc github

[Patrick Williams]

Hello Alan.  We'll have a discussion in the docs review to see if this
fits better in an existing repository since it is a fairly minor
feature.

I don't think that any self-signed certificate does anything to improve
security.  Any self-signed certificate, even with a valid hostname, can
simply be forged.  Finding a self-signed certificate where the hostname
matches does not give you any additional confidence over a certificate
without a hostname.

It doesn't look like you put this wording into the doc, which is good,
but we should not have it anywhere in the code either because it gives a
false sense of security.
