Description

In the OpenVPN Remote Access Server Setup Wizard, when trying to input a valid email, "The following input errors were detected:
Please limit Certificate field names to only the following characters: A-Z, a-z, space, underscore, and dash."

Upon removal of any input in E-mail field: "Please enter all information for the new Certificate Authority."

Cannot Add new CA on this screen.

Relax OpenVPN wizard cert validation to match that of the cert manager and encode values before using them. Fixes #7854
Also, CDATA escape these fields in config.xml since they will most likely contain characters which are invalid in XML.
While here, fix a cert display issue where a SAN value could be reused from a previous entry in the cert list display.

Must be something else than email, that message is for country/state/city/organization.

In light of #7540 all of that validation probably does need to be revisited soonish. There are relatively few restrictions now, the wizard will need to catch up.

After inspecting the code, this was a bit easier than I expected it to be, so I pushed a fix.

The wizard now allows the user to use any characters they want in certificate fields and escapes them properly before creating the CA/Certs, just like the certificate manager does directly.
