Some subsystems are interested in knowing if a key has been endorsed
as a Certificate Authority (CA). From the data contained in struct
key, it is not possible to make this determination after the key
parsing is complete. Introduce a new Endorsed Certificate Authority
flag called KEY_FLAG_ECA.
The first type of key to use this is X.509. When a X.509 certificate
is self signed, has the keyCertSign Key Usage set and contains the
CA bit set, this new flag is set. In the future, other usage fields
could be added as flags, i.e. digitialSignature.
