0303ea2bfa openssl_pkcs12: Add idempotency checks (#54633)
* Added idempotency logic to openssl_pkcs12

Also decoupled the 'parse' and 'generate' function from the file write
as they are now used in different places that do not need the file to be
written to disk.

* Added idempotency tests for openssl_pkcs12

Also adds a new test for pkcs12 files with multiple certificates

* Regenerate if parsed file is invalid

* pkcs12_other_certificates check was wrong

* Updated ca_certificates to other_certificates

ca_certificates is left as an alias to other_certificates;
friendlyname depends on private key, so it will be ignored while
checking for idempotency if the pkey is not set;
idempotency check only checks for correct certs in the stack

* use different keys for different certs

* Added other_certificates in module docs

* Added changelog and porting guide

* removed unrelated porting guide entry

* renamed ca_cert* occurrence with other_cert
