sslutil: fall back to commonName when no dNSName in subjectAltName (issue2798) Any entries in subjectAltName would prevent fallback to using commonName, but RFC 2818 says: If a subjectAltName extension of type dNSName is present, that MUST be used as the identity. Otherwise, the (most specific) Common Name field in the Subject field of the certificate MUST be used. We now only consider dNSNames in subjectAltName. (dNSName is known as 'DNS' in OpenSSL/Python.)
