This patch causes Issuer DN to be stored in certificate records using existing (unused) 'issuerName' attribute schema.
This will allow me to change sub-CAs implementation to a shared certificate repo which means I don't have to worry about range management anymore :) But I think it is a sensible change in its own right.
UI / CLI filters for issuer can come later - there's a TODO for that on my tracking etherpad[1] and I will file a ticket later.

The patch itself looks good, but we also need to consider the existing certificate records in the database that do not have the issuerName. Two possibilities:
1. Add issuerName into all existing certificate records using a database upgrade script.
2. Maintain two types of certs such that: * Certs issued by the main CA (and standalone sub CA) will continue to have empty issuerName. * Certs issued by the light-weight sub CA will have non-empty issuerName.
Any preference?

I previously discussed option (2) with Ade, but on reflection I think an upgrade script is the way to go - the better to have only the only case to handle elsewhere. I will write the upgrade script. Thanks, Fraser
