I agree to put this into LEDE 17.01 and the master branch for now.

There are probably a lot of old certificates out there that are still in
use and are SHA1. As the public CAs are not issuing any SHA1
certificates any more and creating a own certificate and not just
modifying an existing is certificate is harder, I think there is no big
security problem here.

If nobody disagrees I would merge this in one week.
