I just got tripped trying to import an LDIF with a cert with 16 byte SerialNumber. I've patched this to just use the same hexadecimal format that OpenSSL uses when the number is larger than ber_int_t. We really don't want the format to change just because someone has a BigNum library available; it needs to stay consistent.

But we still need to fix serialNumberAndIssuerNormalize() to normalize to Hex now. And in case somebody feeds in a very large decimal integer, we still need a multi-word decimal-to-binary converter. As such, this bug cannot be closed yet.
