Policy 2.4 Proposal: Replace all occurrences of 'CA' with "Certification Authority' when that is the intended meaning

[Gervase Markham]

We need to be clear in our terminology. The policy itself uses "CA" (or
"issuing CA" or "subordinate CA") to refer to the organization and "CA
certificate" to refer to the certificate fairly consistently. The two
exceptions which need fixing are:

Inclusion point 5 ("additional CAs")
Inclusion point 18 ("CA hierarchy") x 2

We should update those to "additional CA certificates" and "CA
certificate hierarchy" respectively. I think that then the policy will
be internally consistent.
