#56: "*" domain labels MUST NOT be redacted

Comment (by [email protected]):

 The current text of 6962-bis says:
 'When creating a Precertificate, the CA MAY substitute one or more of the
 complete leftmost labels in each DNS-ID with the literal string
 "(PRIVATE)".'

 On the mailing list we considered relaxing the "complete" and/or
 "leftmost" requirements, but everyone seems to agree that both of these
 requirements should remain.

 Peter Bowen suggests that...
 '...if the left most label is exactly "*", then it is considered redacted
 for the purposes of determining if the label to the right may be redacted.
 That would allow *.?.?.example.com to be an allowable redaction.'

 (Note: Peter's example assumes that we will change the redaction label
 from "(PRIVATE)" to "?", as proposed in ticket #54).
