GNUTLS_X509_NO_WELL_DEFINED_EXPIRATION: deprecatedtmp-no-well-defined
This removes the documented use of this macro. It was non-functional.
Given the nature of the definition of the non-well defined date for
certificates, it may be wise not to use a special macro at all. The
reason is that the no-well defined date is a real date (~year 9999),
and any approximation with seconds will be unstable due to irregular
leap seconds.
