Implement self-signing in 'openssl ca'. This makes it easier to have
the CA certificate part of the CA database, and combined with
'unique_subject=no', it should make operations like CA certificate
roll-over easier.

Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
+ in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
+ CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
+ as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
+ this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
+ [Richard Levitte]

*) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
