e85d19c68e crypto/cms: Add support for CAdES Basic Electronic Signatures (CAdES-BES)
A CAdES Basic Electronic Signature (CAdES-BES) contains, among other
specifications, a collection of  Signing Certificate reference attributes,
stored in the signedData ether as ESS signing-certificate or as
ESS signing-certificate-v2. These are described in detail in Section 5.7.2
of RFC 5126 - CMS Advanced Electronic Signatures (CAdES).

This patch adds support for adding  ESS signing-certificate[-v2] attributes
to CMS signedData. Although it implements only a small part of the RFC, it
is sufficient many cases to enable the `openssl cms` app to create signatures
which comply with legal requirements of some European States (e.g Italy).
