Add "generate-dummy" on/off type keyword to "load" directive to automatically generate dummy certificates as this is done for ACME from ckch_conf_load_pem_or_generate() function which is called if a "crt" keyword is also provide for this directive. Also implement "keytype" to specify the key type used for these certificates. Only "RSA" or "ECDSA" is accepted. This patch also implements "bits" keyword for the "load" directive to specify the private key size used for RSA. For ECDSA, a new "curves" keyword is also provided by this patch to specify the curves to be used for the EDCSA private keys generation. ckch_conf_load_pem_or_generate() is modified to use these parameters provided by "keytype", "bits" and "curves" to generate the private key with ssl_gen_EVP_PKEY() before generating the X509 certificate calling ssl_gen_x509().
