Details

Ran in to the problem while implementing crl generation feature in crlutil.

According RFE cert serial numbers can be up to 64 bit long numbers. Currently
the library can only handle long(int32) types.

Once this rfe is implemented files nss/cmd/lib/secutil.c and
nss/cmd/crlutil/crlgen.c should be changed to use new functionalities in order
to properly print certs serial numbers and proper generate crl entries serial
numbers.
This functionality can be expanded further more to store arbitrary number.
Encode/decode functions can be implemented to encode a number from an ASCII
string and decode to an ASCII string.

Actually RFC3280 says cert serial numbers can be 160 bits (20 bytes). So I'm not sure that PRInt64 will help.
