Add -alt option to makecert to a subjectAltName extension
* man/makecert.1: Add documentation for -alt
* mcs/tools/security/makecert.cs: Add (mono only!) -alt to support
adding a subjectAltName extension in certificates. This allows to
speficy (from a file) a list of DNS entries so a single X.509
certificate can be used/shared for SSL (like all the bots hosts)
