Summary0001151: Support SIP URI in subject alt names
DescriptionSIP DOmain certificates, specified in RFC 5922, use a Subject Alt name of type URI. For a certificate for example.com, the URI would be sip:example.com. Even if a CSR contains this URI today, CAcert strips these SANs away.

I would like to suggest that we keep the URI's that match the domain name in the CN, even if CN is not used in SIP in this case. That's a first step to getting SIP URIs in the CAcert certificates, and a rather simple one.
In short:
- If we issue a cert for example.org, also approve sip:example.org as a SAN URI.
- If we issue a cert for CN sip.example.org, also approv sip:sip.example.org as a SAN URI.
Additional InformationA cert with a CN being example.org could have SAN URIs for sip:voip.example.org. Since these does not match, it's harder to find a way to validate, but still possible.

A cert with a CN being example.com could have SAN URIs for other domains, like sip:example.net and sip:example.com and sip:test.example.org.

This could be a bit trickier, so I suggest we look into a simple first step.
