dogtag opens its NSS database in read/write mode so we need to be very
careful during renewal that we don't also open it up read/write. We
basically need to serialize access to the database. certmonger does the
majority of this work via internal locking from the point where it generates
a new key/submits a rewewal through the pre_save and releases the lock after
the post_save command. This lock is held per NSS database so we're save
from certmonger. dogtag needs to be shutdown in the pre_save state so
certmonger can safely add the certificate and we can manipulate trust
in the post_save command.
Fix a number of bugs in renewal. The CA wasn't actually being restarted
at all due to a naming change upstream. In python we need to reference
services using python-ish names but the service is pki-cad. We need a
translation for non-Fedora systems as well.
Update the CA ou=People entry when he CA subsystem certificate is
renewed. This certificate is used as an identity certificate to bind
to the DS instance.

Rather than providing a list of nicknames I'm going to look at the NSS
databases directly. Anything in there is suspect and this will help
future-proof us.
certmonger may be tracking other certificates but we only care about
a subset of them, so don't complain if there are other tracked certificates.
This reads the certmonger files directly so the service doesn't need
to be started.

Put the changes from Ade's dogtag 10 patch into namespaced constants in
dogtag.py, which are then referenced in the code.
Make ipaserver.install.CAInstance use the service name specified in the
configuration. Uninstallation, where config is removed before CA uninstall,
also uses the (previously) configured value.
This and Ade's patch address https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2846
Dogtag 10 uses a new installer, new directory layout and new default
ports. This patch changes the ipa install code to integrate these changes.

Certificate renewal can be done only one one CA as the certificates need
to be shared amongst them. certmonger has been trained to communicate
directly with dogtag to perform the renewals. The initial CA installation
is the defacto certificate renewal master.
A copy of the certificate is stored in the IPA LDAP tree in
cn=ca_renewal,cn=ipa,cn=etc,$SUFFIX, the rdn being the nickname of the
certificate, when a certificate is renewed. Only the most current
certificate is stored. It is valid to have no certificates there, it means
that no renewals have taken place.
The clones are configured with a new certmonger CA type that polls this
location in the IPA tree looking for an updated certificate. If one is
not found then certmonger is put into the CA_WORKING state and will poll
every 8 hours until an updated certificate is available.
The RA agent certificate, ipaCert in /etc/httpd/alias, is a special case.
When this certificate is updated we also need to update its entry in
the dogtag tree, adding the updated certificate and telling dogtag which
certificate to use. This is the certificate that lets IPA issue
certificates.
On upgrades we check to see if the certificate tracking is already in
place. If not then we need to determine if this is the master that will
do the renewals or not. This decision is made based on whether it was
the first master installed. It is concievable that this master is no
longer available meaning that none are actually tracking renewal. We
will need to document this.

certmonger now has the ability to execute a script when it renews a
certificate. This can be used to automatically restart servers so
the certificate doesn't expire in the running server.

The value stored in certmonger is not guaranteed to be normalized
nor is the value passed-in (could be a relative path and may or not
contain trailing slash). We do direct string compares so they need
to match exactly or we won't find the request.
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1942
If a hostname was provided it wasn't used to configure either
certmonger or sssd. This resulted in a non-working configuration.
Additionally on un-enrollment the wrong hostname was unenrolled, it
used the value of gethostname() rather than the one that was passed
into the installer.
We have to modify the CA configuration of certmonger to make it
use the right principal when requesting certificates. The filename
is unpredicable but it will be in /var/lib/certmonger/cas.
We need to hunt for ipa_submit and add -k <principal> to it, then
undo that on uninstall. These files are created the first time
the certmonger service starts, so start and stop it before messing
with them.

The changes include:
* Change license blobs in source files to mention GPLv3+ not GPLv2 only
* Add GPLv3+ license text
* Package COPYING not LICENSE as the license blobs (even the old ones)
mention COPYING specifically, it is also more common, I think
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/239
This started with the client uninstaller returning a 1 when not installed.
There was no way to tell whether the uninstall failed or the client
simply wasn't installed which caused no end of grief with the installer.
This led to a lot of certmonger failures too, either trying to stop
tracking a non-existent cert or not handling an existing tracked
certificate.
I moved the certmonger code out of the installer and put it into the
client/server shared ipapython lib. It now tries a lot harder and smarter
to untrack a certificate.
