Details

We should extend httpserv to act as an OCSP server.

I propose that URLs that start with /ocsp shall be handled by new OCSP server logic.

I propose to add a new command line option to httpserv:
  --ocspsigner nickname

and we should allow to specify that option multiple times, allowing a single process to provide responses for multiple CAs.

I want to start with the basic scenario, where CA == OCSP signer.
(We can figure out a way to support separate dedicated OCSP signer certs at a later time.)

The code shall require that the NSS database contains the private keys for all specified OCSP signers.
