When a certificate is autogenerated by dcrd or with gencerts, errors would occur if any hostname contained non-ASCII characters. While X509 certificates do support UTF8 strings, Go does not yet support creating these. Instead, as a workaround and to keep certificate generation working to avoid errors at dcrd startup, convert hostnames with non-ASCII Unicode characters to their IDNA form, which uses Punycode to ASCII-encode the problematic Unicode characters.
This updates the 2.0 release branch to use the latest version of the certgen module which includes updates to support Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) via Punycode. In particular, the following updated module version is used: - github.com/decred/dcrd/certgen@v1.2.0

Note that it also cherry picks all of the commits included in updates to the
certgenmodule to ensure they are also included in the release branch even though it is not strictly necessary sincego.modhas been updated to require the new release and thus will pull in the new code. However, from past experience, not having code backported to modules available in the release branch too leads to headaches for devs building from source in their local workspace with overrides such as those ingo.work.The following PRs are included:
