This would fix#839
Certbot uses locking [1] even for read-only operations and does not properly
use exit codes, which means that sometimes it would print:
"Another instance of Certbot is already running" and exit with success.
However, the previous explorers would take that as the certificate being absent
and would trigger code generation.
The issue was made worse by having many explorers running certbot, so for N
certificates, we'd run certbot N*4 times, potentially "in parallel".

This patch joins all explorers in one to avoid starting multiple remote python
processes and uses a cdist-specific lock in /tmp/certbot.cdist.lock with a
60 seconds timeout.
It has been tested with certbot 0.31.0 and 0.17 that the:
from certbot.main import main
trick works. It is somewhat well documented so it can be somewhat relied upon.
