[PATCH v6 4/6] KEYS: X.509: Parse Key Usage

Parse the X.509 Key Usage.  The key usage extension defines the purpose of
the key contained in the certificate.

   id-ce-keyUsage OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=  { id-ce 15 }

      KeyUsage ::= BIT STRING {
           digitalSignature        (0),
           contentCommitment       (1),
           keyEncipherment         (2),
           dataEncipherment        (3),
           keyAgreement            (4),
           keyCertSign             (5),
           cRLSign                 (6),
           encipherOnly            (7),
           decipherOnly            (8) }

If the keyCertSign or digitalSignature is set, store it in the
public_key structure. Having the purpose of the key being stored
during parsing, allows enforcement on the usage field in the future.
This will be used in a follow on patch that requires knowing the
certificate key usage type.
