Avoid re-authorizing if an existing authorization is still valid

Authorizations may last for much longer than certificates, we should check to see if a new authorization is in fact needed before authorizing.

Let's Encrypt have made some server-side changes in this area: https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/upcoming-change-valid-authz-reuse/16982/4

Need to investigate exactly how txacme interacts with these, I think we may be doing a bit more work than we need to, although everything should still work fine.

Since LE are reducing their authz validity period even further, this is of even less importance to us, so bumping the milestone.
