The certificate combinatorial craziness configuration consideration

This follows on from #107. Different daemons desire diverging designs of DER digests. DNSSEC digression: DANE discordantly demands delivery of directorate dossiers during document dissemination.

:grin: issue text :grin:

I personally would like it if all combinations mentioned above are always written in files named:

priv
cert
intr
root
cert+intr
cert+intr+root
priv+cert+intr+root
…

(or alternatively the unabbreviated version, or with a dash instead of a plus sign)

Don't forget about dhparams! ;)

I think it's fine to just provide what we have now (priv, cert, chain, fullchain), plus the necessary hooks to let application-specific hookscripts provide whatever else the application needs.

In general, I'd rather not have acmetool making a bunch of copies of my private key. Ideally, it should not even expect to be able to read a private key once it's been generated. Private keys might be stored in hardware, or on another machine, or on the same machine but restricted via selinux policies.
