net/http/httptest: fix comment regarding certificate expiry

In earlier versions of Go, times were only encoded as an ASN.1 UTCTIME and
crypto/tls/generate_cert.go limited times to the maximum UTCTIME value.
Revision 050b60a3 added support for ASN.1 GENERALIZEDTIME, allowing larger
time values to be represented (per RFC 5280).

As a result, when the httptest certificate was regenerated in revision
9b2d84ef, the Not After date changed to Jan 29 16:00:00 2084 GMT. Update
the comment to reflect this.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
