Always renew certificates

We raise the minimum required time to 20 years, effectively ensuring
that we won't reuse certificates.

We also now issue them for 2 years, to allow for the longer time
horizons of LTS kubernetes support.

Both these values can be customized through env vars, the defaults
correspond to these env vars:

ETCD_MANAGER_CERT_DURATION=2y
ETCD_MANAGER_CERT_MIN_TIME_LEFT=20y
