Rewrite inline_cert() so that any files to be inlined can be missing.
This allows for any combination of files to create an inline file.

Move certificate type extraction to a new function, ssl_cert_x509v3_eku(), which can be reused.

Expose 'inline' command to command line.
Inline available data and ignore missing files.

This function prints the available inline data to stdout.
To create inline files the data must be redirected to a file.
Internally, this redirection is taken care of.

Return 'soft' error when any data is missing but always print
available data.

This behaviour allows for incomplete inline files. For example,
when a CA signs a certificate but does not have the private key.
Any combination of missing files is allowed.

This allows a client that has not built a CA to use 'inline'.

The CA and signed client certificate can be sent to the client,
allowing the client to create a complete X509 based inline file,
without creating a redundant CA.

Also, add 'inline' command to the list of commands which do not
require a CA.
