Overhaul the display of certificate details in

the 'ca' utility. This can now be extensively
customised in the configuration file and handles
multibyte strings and extensions properly.

This is required when extensions copying from
certificate requests is supported: the user
must be able to view the extensions before
allowing a certificate to be issued.

  Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7  [xx XXX 2000]
 
+  *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
+     by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
+     file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
+     signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
+     or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
+     multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
+     and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
+     [Steve Henson]

   *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
      don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
      [Bodo Moeller]
