[xmlsec] Loading a DER-encoded certificate

[Aleksey Sanin]

Using xmlSecKeyReadBinaryFile() function for reading certificates is 
probably a wrong way.
Please check xmlSecOpenSSLAppKeyPemCertLoad() and 
xmlSecOpenSSLAppPemCertLoad()
functions. In the last function you need to replace call to 
PEM_read_X509_AUX() with
a call to read der certificate from file. For example, you can use BIO 
call d2i_X509_bio()
(you need to create a read file BIO first).
