Update cert creation instruction for Federation
The Server certificates used for Federation require the node name in the form of `<node>.server.<dc>.<domain>`. Not having this would through `bad tls certificate` error. * Fixed cert create command * Added note to create a wildcard cert (like the ones on Kubernetes) * Fixed numbering
