Some changes in mod_ssl API

Hello!

I think is good idea to enable common work of two these options:

SSLOptions +FakeBasicAuth
and
SSLUserName

When we enable FakeBasicAuth option, we take username
not "user", but "/C=RU/ST=-/L=Moscow/O=example.com/OU=Example/CN=user/emailA ddress=user [at] example.com"

This is in some cases inconveniently -- if we use, for
example, Subversion VCS and make user authentication via certificate
we take "strange" commiter's usename.

I suggest to make some changes in mod_ssl module to allow set username as
a part of Subject of the Client's X509 Certificate.

For example, if SSLUserName is set to SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN, faked username is "user".

Please look on these patches:

For Apache 1.3

and

For Apache 2

With best regards, Andrei.
