Allow to use certificate even if domain validation fails (#160)

Browse source 
- Currently if the canonical domain validations fails(either for
legitimate reasons or for bug reasons like the request to Gitea/Forgejo
failing) it will use main domain certificate, which in the case for
custom domains will warrant a security error as the certificate isn't
issued to the custom domain.
- This patch handles this situation more gracefully and instead only
disallow obtaining a certificate if the domain validation fails, so in
the case that a certificate still exists it can still be used even if
the canonical domain validation fails. There's a small side effect,
legitimate users that remove domains from `.domain` will still be able
to use the removed domain(as long as the DNS records exists) as long as
the certificate currently hold by pages-server isn't expired.
- Given the increased usage in custom domains that are resulting in
errors, I think it ways more than the side effect.
- In order to future-proof against future slowdowns of instances, add a retry mechanism to the domain validation function, such that it's more likely to succeed even if the instance is not responding.
- Refactor the code a bit and add some comments.
