Feature #7618: ‘puppet cert’ should be able to return the fingerprint of the CA

When setting up a new client, I like to be able to both confirm that 
fingerprint of the client certificate matches what the server sees, and that 
the fingerprint of the certificate authority public cert sent to the client 
matches the cert on the server. 

To do the latter, I have to reach for the openssl man page and do something 
like this:

    openssl x509 -noout -fingerprint -in /var/lib/puppet/ssl/ca/ca_crt.pem
    
Obviously, the paths are different on the client and server sides, too.

puppet's PKI handling is the best I've seen outside of SSH; I think this 
feature would smooth off one of the last rough edges.
