If 1024 was not enough to fit the DN, gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn would store
the required size in subjectlen. And since we're not checking the return
value of this function, we would happily overwrite some random memory.

Leaving the pre-allocation here would be more consistent with our
other use of this function (where the original buffer is only 256
bytes long)

Internally, the function formats the answer into its own buffer
to figure out its size, so it would also serve as a micro-optimization.

Please copy the translatable error string from either of the two
other uses of gnutls_x509_crt_get_dn, to save the translators some work.
