pem.py, x509.py: rm unused code

now that bip70 support is removed, all this is only used to check expiration of self-signed electrum server certs in interface.py

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit removes unused code from two helper files (pem.py and x509.py) after the BIP70 payment protocol was removed. It also narrows the certificate-loading function so it only loads the bundled certificate authority list and skips expired certificates instead of rejecting them as errors. There is no security-relevant bug being fixed here; it is a cleanup change.

Recommended action

No security action required; treat as routine code cleanup. Reviewers may verify that the removed helpers are truly unused and that the new exception handling does not mask unexpected certificate parsing failures.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
