Recognise more name attributes

Recognise more name attributes

[ekasper, 2013-08-06 12:26:43]

Add some naming attributes that are not part of the recommended standard set but
that commonly appear in certs.

Also attempt to decode anything we don't recognize as a DirectoryString before
giving up. For example I commonly see 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.60.2.1.2 - I don't know
what it is but I can parse it.

I've still kept the restriction to raise if the type is known but the value
can't be decoded to a DirectoryString. If that, too, turns out to be too strong
an assumption then  I'll change the decoding to be entirely best effort.

Totally optional: Have a strict-mode option, which, when set, does not try to
parse as DirectoryString, keeping the old behaviour.

Do you have a use case for this strict mode?

The RFC says: "The type of the component AttributeValue is determined by
the AttributeType; in general it will be a DirectoryString." and in the
first 65k certs, I haven't seen a single one that isn't.

No, I don't have a use case - disregard my suggestion.
