Fraser Tweedale d7e1ab8438 Add a README to certificate profile templates directory
There have been several instances of people using the profile
configuration template files as actual profile configurations,
resulting in failures and support load.  Add a README to the profile
template directory to explain that these files should not be used
and advise of the recommend procedure.

This directory contains profile TEMPLATES for certificate profiles
included in FreeIPA. Do not import these files or modifications
thereof - it is likely that Dogtag will accept the configuration,
but certificate issuance will fail with the updated configuration.
At best, it will not give you the certificates you want.
If you want to modify a profile configuration or create a new
profile based on an existing profile configuration, you should
export the current profile configuration with the command:
ipa certprofile-show --out FILENAME PROFILE_NAME
After modifying the configuration, update the profile configuration:
ipa certprofile-mod --file FILENAME PROFILE_NAME
Or if you are creating a new profile:
ipa certprofile-import --desc DESC --store 1 \
--file FILENAME NEW_PROFILE_NAME
