Don't exit daemon if opening or parsing the CRL fails.
As requested in trac ticket #83, the daemon should not exit if opening the
CRL file during a connection attempt fails; OpenVPN should merely deny the
connection.
CRL files need to be periodically updated. When users update their CRL in
place and a connection attempt takes place simultaneously, the CRL file
might temporarily not be available, or not be in a consistent state.
Previously, that would result in the daemon exiting. With this patch, that
results in one (or possibly a few) failed connection attempts, but service
will restore automatically as soon as the CRL is again available in a valid
state.
Note that on startup OpenVPN still checks the existence and accessibility
of the CRL file, and will refuse to start on error.
While I was touching the code, I improved error reporting for the PolarSSL
code a bit. The polar code opens and parses the CRL in a single call, so
on error retrieve details from polarssl and report those to the user.
