Add note about serving challenge files via HTTP #55

I configured a server as https only. Then when renewal day came, Let's Encrypt could not access the challenge key anymore (and lecm displayed a stack trace where info was difficult to find). I propose to add a notice (sentence copied from the README.md from acme-tiny) so that this requirement is more obvious.

Thank you for bringing it up. Just for comprehensiveness, would you mind adding the link to the specification in your PR so people can have direct access to it ? Link is https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-acme-acme-07#section-8.3

Thanks in advance,
