Read Certificate Transparency (RFC 6962) SCT extension

Ander Juaristi requested to merge aja-certificate-transparency into master

This MR would close issue #232 (closed).

I've implemented new public functions to parse the Certificate Transparency SCT extension (Signed Certificate Timestamp), as specified by RFC 6962.

It also extends certtool to be able to read such extension from certificates.

The tests included in this MR use the aclu.org example X.509 certificate provided by Daniel Kahn Gillmor in the issue itself. It is embedded as a PEM string in the test code x509cert-ct.c. I can change that and create a new custom certificate if asked.
