Option --cryptoapicert: support issuer name as a selector
- Certificate selection string can now specify a partial
issuer name string as "--cryptoapicert ISSUER:<string>" where
<string> is matched as a substring of the issuer (CA) name in
the certificate.
Partial case-insensitive matching against the "issuer name" is
used. Here "issuer name" is a text representation of the RDN's
separated by commas.
E.g., "CA, Ontario, Toronto, Acme Inc., IT, Acme Root CA".
See MSDN docs on CertFindCertificateInStore() with CERT_FIND_ISSUER_STR
as "FindType" for more details.
As the order of RDN's is not well-defined[*] and type names like "OU"
or "CN" are not included, its best to match against a single attribute
like the CN of the issuer:
E.g., --cryptoapicert "ISSUER:Acme Root"
[*] Windows appears to order RDN's in the reverse order to which
its written in the certificate but do not rely on this.
