Ticket #2584 - Installation fails when CN is set in certificate subject base

It is illegal to have more than one CN attribute in a certificate
subject. The subject command line arg is actually inserting a dn
between a leading RDN with a CN attribute and a suffix. The final
subject must have only CN attribute therefore the subject command line
arg must not contain CN. The patch modifies the subject validation to
prohibit CN. It also improves the error messages to clearly indicate
which command line parameter caused the failure and why.

While fixing the above it discovered the logic used for subject
validation with an external CA was flawed. DN objects were not being
used when they should be (certificate subject and issuer fields are dn
syntax). That code was also fixed so that the comparisions between
subjects and issuers were performed with DN objects. While fixing this
it was noted the object type relationship between IPA DN objects and
x509 DN objects was awkward, ticket 3003 was opened to address this.
