Add role parameter to restrict issuance of wildcard certificates (#14238)
* Add new AllowWildcardCertificate field to PKI role

This field allows the PKI role to control whether or not issuance of
wildcard certificates are allowed. We default (both on migration and
new role creation) to the less secure true value for backwards
compatibility with existing Vault versions.

* Refactor sanitizedName to reducedName

Per comment, this variable name was confusing during the reproduction
and subsequent fix of the earlier vulnerability and associated bug
report. Because the common name isn't necessarily _sanitized_ in any way
(and indeed must be considered in relation to other parts or the whole),
but portions of the entire name are removed, reducedName appears to make
the most sense.

* Enforce AllowWildcardCertificates during issuance

This commit adds the bulk of correctly validating wildcard certificate
Common Names during issuance according to RFC 6125 Section 6.4.3
semantics. As part of this, support for RFC 2818-conforming wildcard
certificates (wherein there are almost no restrictions on issuance) has
been removed.

Note that this flag does take precedence over AllowAnyName, giving a
little more safety in wildcard issuance in this case.

* Update test cases to conform with RFC 6125

Test cases 19, 70+71, and 83+84 didn't conform with the RFC 6125, and so
should've been rejected under strict conformance. For 70+71 and 83+84,
we previously conditioned around the value of AllowSubdomains (allowing
issuance when true), but they likely should've been rejected either way.

Additionally, update the notes about globs matching wildcard
certificates to notate this is indeed the case.

* Check AllowWildcardCertifciates in issuance tests

This allows for regression tests to cover the new
AllowWildcardCertificate conditional. We add additional test cases
ensuring that wildcard issuance is properly forbidden in all relevant
scenarios, while allowing the existing test cases to validate that
wildcard status doesn't affect non-wildcard certificates.

* Add Wildcard allowance during signing operations

When using sign-verbatim, sign-intermediate, or getting certificate
generation parameters, set AllowWildcardCertificates to mirror existing
policies.
