libsec: emulate openssl asn1 when generating x509 csr

when trying to request certificates from letsencrypt,
their test api would reject our csr because of
"tuncated sequence" unless we force subectAltName
by passing multiple domains (as comma separated list).

apparently, we need to provide the context specific tag
"cont [ 0 ]" for the extensions even when we do have
any extensions for the csr (triggered when we need to
have subjectAltNames).

for this, we change mkcont() to take a Elist* instead,
which then can be nil when not used. also put the tag
number argument first, which makes it easier to read.
