 * Check if a wildcard certificate matches the server hostname.
 *
 * The rule for this is:
 *  1. We only match the '*' character as wildcard
 *  2. We match only wildcards at the start of the string
 *  3. The '*' character does *not* match '.', meaning that we match only
 *     a single pathname component.
 *  4. We don't support more than one '*' in a single pattern.
 *
 * This is roughly in line with RFC2818, but contrary to what most browsers
 * appear to be implementing (point 3 being the difference)
 *
 * Matching is always case-insensitive, since DNS is case insensitive.
