[cp-patches] FYI: fix various problems with X500Principal

[Casey Marshall]

I'm checking in this patch that fixes a few problems with  
X500Principal -- in parsing string-based representations, then  
writing them out again in the binary format for X.500 distinguished  
names.

I'm sure the code is still quite bad. The crypto and security stuff  
in Classpath really do need more attention and testing than I can  
provide.

    * javax/security/auth/x500/X500Principal.java
    (encodeDer): use the right iterator for the inner loop.
    (parseString): test for end of input.
    (readAttributeType): provide detail message for exception.
    (readAttributeValue): return the result on end of input;
    read the next character while looping.
    (putComponent): accept 'o' and 'ou' short names.
