[openssl-users] More on cert serialnumbers

[Salz, Rich]

And RFC 5280, which is still the standard, says serial# must be <= 20 bytes.  Which means, you want to make sure the high bit is off, else the DER encoding will make it 21 bytes.

So the new –rand_serial flag I am adding to the CA command will make call RAND_bytes to get 18 bytes.
