Message:

Check hostname of proxy back end server against certificate

Previously, the server certificate was only checked for validity. With
this commit, mod_gnutls gets the expected hostname from the note
"proxy-request-hostname" which should have been set by mod_proxy and
matches it against the server certificate.
