[xmlsec] Bug 728213 - Segmenation Fault with self signed certificate

It depends on openssl c_rehash creating the symlink to the certificate.  Since its self signed it needs to find one thats an exact match in the store.  If those are not there it works just fine.  Our temporary fix for it is removing those symlinks so it cannot match the self signed cert.  

It makes sense that the key type is not correct in xmlSecOpenSSLKeyDataX509VerifyAndExtractKey().

Just a very general thought is that the key type is not set correctly  
in xmlSecOpenSSLKeyDataX509VerifyAndExtractKey() or somewhere around it.  

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to repro the crash on my centos VM (I might  
be missing the cert you have or something).
