Fossil SCM

The error message Fossil gives on TLS certificate check failure changed in Fossil 2.11, so updated www/ssl.wiki to show the new message. Left the old message in place, since many people will be running versions of Fossil that still use that format, and a big part of the reason why we have this error message in the document is to make it come up in web searches for the error, since we give solutions later in the same doc.
