crypto/x509: support CSRs

[gopherbot]

by raul.san@sent.com:

Request to support the CSRs, when it is possible.

So OpenSSL could be substituted by a Go program using library x509, for the handling of
certificates.

Probably not for Go 1.2 but may happen at some point. Possibly in the go.crypto subrepo.

Comment 5:

Recently I've created a PKCS#10 CSR package[0], which we needed to create certificate
signing requests. It would be fairly easy to modify the existing code so it can be
included in the official crypto/x509 package since it already relies on a lot of
unexported code from that package.
If there's interest, I can submit a CL after Go 1.2 has been released based on this code.
