Michael Brown bc8ca6b8ce [crypto] Generalise X.509 cache to a full certificate store
Expand the concept of the X.509 cache to provide the functionality of
a certificate store.  Certificates in the store will be automatically
used to complete certificate chains where applicable.

The certificate store may be prepopulated at build time using the
CERT=... build command line option.  For example:

  make bin/ipxe.usb CERT=mycert1.crt,mycert2.crt

Certificates within the certificate store are not implicitly trusted;
the trust list is specified using TRUST=... as before.  For example:

  make bin/ipxe.usb CERT=root.crt TRUST=root.crt

This can be used to embed the full trusted root certificate within the
iPXE binary, which is potentially useful in an HTTPS-only environment
in which there is no HTTP server from which to automatically download
cross-signed certificates or other certificate chain fragments.

This usage of CERT= extends the existing use of CERT= to specify the
client certificate.  The client certificate is now identified
automatically by checking for a match against the private key.  For
example:

  make bin/ipxe.usb CERT=root.crt,client.crt TRUST=root.crt KEY=client.key
