Florence Blanc-Renaud 64d187e56e NSSDatabase: fix get_trust_chain
In the get_trust_chain method, use certutil -O with the option
--simple-self-signed to make sure that self-signed certs properly
get processed.
Note: this option has been introduced in nss 3.38 and our spec file
already requires nss >= 3.41.

Scenario: when IPA CA is switched from self-signed to externally-signed,
then back to self-signed, the same nickname can be used in
/etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias for the initial cert and the renewed certs. If
the original and renewed certs are present in the NSS db, running
$ certutil -O -n <IPA CA alias>
produces a complex output like the following (this command is used to find
the trust chain):
"CN=Cert Auth,O=ExtAuth" [CN=Cert Auth,O=ExtAuth]

  "caSigningCert cert-pki-ca" [CN=Certificate Authority,O=DOMAIN.COM]

    "caSigningCert cert-pki-ca" [CN=Certificate Authority,O=DOMAIN.COM]

The renewal code is disturbed by this output.
If, on the contrary, certutil -O --simple-self-signed -n <IPA CA alias> is
used to extract the trust chain, the output is as expected for a self-signed
cert:
"caSigningCert cert-pki-ca" [CN=Certificate Authority,O=DOMAIN.COM]

As a result, the scenario self-signed > externally signed > self-signed
works.

This is a set of libraries common to IPA clients and servers though mostly
geared currently towards command-line tools.

A brief overview:

config.py - identify the IPA server domain and realm. It uses python-dns to
            try to detect this information first and will fall back to
            /etc/ipa/default.conf if that fails.

ipautil.py - helper functions

entity.py - entity is the main data type. User and Group extend this class
            (but don't add anything currently).

ipavalidate.py - basic data validation routines
