docs: update -d flag copy to be CA-agnostic (#9542)

Browse source 
Some confusion ensued in [this community thread](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/connection-between-ios-9-support-and-subject-common-name-or-x509v3-subject-alternative-name-critical/191619) about the Subject CN, which Certbot omits from the CSR, Let's Encrypt includes in the issued certificate, but some other CAs do not. 

It's probably for the best that we do not entomb Let's Encrypt's current issuance practices in Certbot's documentation.
