Restrict --x509-alt-username extension types
The code never supported all extension types. Make this explicit by only
allowing subjectAltName and issuerAltName (for which the current code does
work).
Using unsupported extension fields would most likely cause OpenVPN to crash
as soon as a client connects. This does not have a real-world security
impact, as such a configuration would not be possible to use in practice.
This bug was discovered, analysed and reported to the OpenVPN team by
Guido Vranken.
Note: small code changes in to avoid "variable declaration in the middle
of a code block" when backporting changes to extract_x509_extension(),
as 2.3 can not assume a C99 compiler.
