[cabfpub] Updated Certificate Transparency + Extended Validation plan

What's wrong with rendering certificates invalid?  Isn't the burden on the
CA to ensure their customers are satisfied?  If the CA wants to take the
risk, let them. We'll make sure our customers 100% understand the risks when
deciding how many proofs to embed.

We don't want to be in the position where we can't distrust a log (*any
log*) because it would render certificates invalid. Which is why we're
specifying that certificates carry multiple SCTs.
