 Gnus shows self-signed certificate warning when connecting to Gmane

If I understand correctly, it seems 1) the :self-signed message and
symbol need to be changed, and 2) we're waiting for the GnuTLS
developers to tell us the best way to detect a self-signed certificate.

For (1) I propose using :unknown-ca and "the certificate was signed by
an unknown and therefore untrusted authority"
