Add signer backend

This commit adds a simple go backend calling openssl ca to sign CRS
coming from the client. The JavaScript code in src/index.html has been
extended to send requests to the sign endpoint and display the resulting
certificate in a separate div element.

A script setup_example_ca.sh and an openssl configuration file ca.cnf
has been added to allow quick setup of a simple example CA.
