When downloading certificates, check for related failures

If a consensus expires while we are waiting for certificates to download,
stop waiting for certificates.

If we stop waiting for certificates less than a minute after we started
downloading them, do not consider the certificate download failure a
separate failure.

Fixes bug 20533; bugfix on commit e0204f21 in 0.2.0.9-alpha.
