[GNC] Windows 11 security blocker

[R Losey]

It was explained that GnuCash does not use an officially signed certificate
(it isn't worth the time or cost involved); it uses a self-signed
certificate, but this is viewed as suspicious by tools that are supposed to
be protecting you/your computer.

It's nothing that GnuCash has changed; the supposed "protection" is either
recently installed, or had a recent update that made it more picky.

Whitelisting is always good for products or websites that you KNOW you can
trust.
