[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] fix up replica creation and installation

I've made fairly major changes to the way replication is handled.

The first is to use file to store the current CA serial number. I could 
have stored it in LDAP, others are free to add this if they like but a 
file is good enough for now.

No longer create a PKCS#12 file that contains the CA. This is a 
self-signed cert after all, no need to walk on egg shells.

No longer send the entire CA to each replica, generate the SSL certs on 
master. This is what drove storing the serial number. We used to send 
the entire CA to each replica it could be used to generate the SSL certs 
needed. This resulted in duplicate serial numbers and the CA everywhere. 
Instead I changed ipa-replica-prepare to take a FQDN and we generate the 
certificates in advance.

Fix number of bugs in ipa-replica-install and prepare

Produce status output during replica creation
