Add explicit cn_validations field to PKI Roles (#15996)
* Add cn_validations PKI Role parameter

This new parameter allows disabling all validations on a common name,
enabled by default on sign-verbatim and issuer generation options.

Presently, the default behavior is to allow either an email address
(denoted with an @ in the name) or a hostname to pass validation.
Operators can restrict roles to just a single option (e.g., for email
certs, limit CNs to have strictly email addresses and not hostnames).

By setting the value to `disabled`, CNs of other formats can be accepted
without validating their contents against our minimal correctness checks
for email/hostname/wildcard that we typically apply even when broad
permissions (allow_any_name=true, enforce_hostnames=false, and
allow_wildcard_certificates=true) are granted on the role.
