Improve example CA setup

The example CA now has more realistic 2 levels with a root CA and a sub CA.

Setup script and ca.cnf has been changed to create a root CA and a sub CA
that is signed by the root CA. The sub CA is used for signing the end entity
certificates. Example CA directory has been changed to example_ca for better
readability.
