prod docs: Call out more the need for a chained cert bundle.

Browse Source 
This is kind of easy to gloss over, especially with the framing
as a "format"; surely if things work at all, the file format
must have been right, right?  It's really a bit more substantive
than that; say so and also add a bit more description.

@@ -13,10 +13,14 @@ If you already have an SSL certificate, just install (or symlink) its
files into place at the following paths:
* `/etc/ssl/private/zulip.key` for the private key
* `/etc/ssl/certs/zulip.combined-chain.crt` for the certificate.
Because Zulip uses nginx as its web server, this should be in the
format of a [chained certificate bundle][nginx-https].
[nginx-https]: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/configuring_https_servers.html
Your certificate file should contain not only your own certificate but
its full chain, including any intermediate certificates used by your
CA. See the [nginx documentation][nginx-chains] for details on what
this means and how to do it and test it. If you're missing part of
the chain, your server may work with some browsers but not others.
