Expect-Staple reports time of report generation, not time of OCSP verification

Project Member Reported by est...@chromium.org, Oct 16 2016

Issue description

Expect-Staple reports contain the time when the report was generated, but this is not necessarily the time that the OCSP response was verified; for example, due to the CachingCertVerifier, the response could have been verified up to 30 minutes before. This can be confusing to a site owner, who might receive a report indicating that the response was an invalid date/time even though the client timestamp appears to fall within the response's valid range.

One way to fix this is to add a verification_time to OCSPVerifyResult, recording the time that the response was actually verified, and then include that in the report instead of generating the timestamp when we send the report.
 
IIRC, regular certificate reporting also has this problem.
