Code Issues Proposed changes

Clarify that the certificate guide should be used

Browse Source 
The quick start guide was pointing users to the old create_certificate.sh
script. This patch clarifies that the "Octavia Certificate Configuration

controllers.
It also adds a warning to the create_certificate.sh script.
