Bug 1145679 disallowed any EV EE cert that had a validity period longer than 39 months from having EV status.

According to https://cabforum.org/2015/10/07/2015-10-07-face-to-face-meeting-minutes-meeting-36-istanbul/#Certificate-Validity-Periods, no change to the EV Guidelines will be made to bump max EV validity periods to 39 months:
> Certificate Validity Periods
> [...]
> •As a result, Kirk will not propose any change in cert validity periods.

I also have not seen any indications for bumping the limit in the archives of the CABF public mailing list at https://cabforum.org/pipermail/public/.

As such, it seems to be a good time to lower the limit to the 27 months allowed by the EV Guidelines.

This looks good. I had a quick look at how many EV certificates this will downgrade (according to certificate transparency), and while it's non-zero, it's not too many (I've found about 60 so far, but there was a flaw in my script, so I'll re-run it tomorrow and have a more accurate number).

It's slightly sad that this number isn't 0 when the EV GLs have been clear on this since the beginning, but oh well, at least the number isn't that high.
+ Correctly sort moz.build test_certificates entries
