New submission from Christian Heimes:
For #17134 I need a decent way to map OIDs to human readable strings and vice
versa. OpenSSL has a couple of method for the task, e.g.
http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/OBJ_nid2obj.html
The patch implements three ways to lookup NID, SN, LN and OID: by OpenSSL's
internal numeric id (NID), by OID or by name:
>>> ssl.txt2obj("MD5", name=True)
ASN1Object(nid=4, shortname='MD5', longname='md5', oid='1.2.840.113549.2.5')
>>> ssl.txt2obj("clientAuth", name=True)
ASN1Object(nid=130, shortname='clientAuth', longname='TLS Web Client
Authentication', oid='1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2')
>>> ssl.txt2obj("1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1")
ASN1Object(nid=129, shortname='serverAuth', longname='TLS Web Server
Authentication', oid='1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1')
