Closes #1062
Summary
Adds two clarifying sentences to the
--peer-cert-allowed-cnsection of the security documentation (v3.5, v3.6, v3.7) to explain the exact matching semantics:--peer-cert-allowed-cnperforms an exact string comparison against the certificate's Common Name (CN) field — no wildcards or prefix matching is supported.--peer-cert-allowed-hostnameand--client-cert-allowed-hostnameuse Go'sx509.Certificate.VerifyHostname(), which supports both exact hostnames and wildcard entries (e.g.*.example.com).This distinction was not previously documented and caused confusion for users who expected wildcard support in the CN flag.
