Client should tolerate expired data when publishing #644

Currently a client can get stuck if metadata on the server has expired. It will continually fail on pulling due to failing validation.

We have notary witness as a recovery path for delegations. Rather than tolerating expired metadata, we should expand witness to work for base roles too.
