[PATCH] update.sh: Fixes bug#13138 - root/host certificate set fails to be created

- The fix applied in vpnmain.cgi only adds the unique_subject = yes to the index.txt.attr
   file after the first time that the root/host certificates are attempted to be created.
- Without this line in update.sh, the first attempt to create the root/host certificate set
   will still have the original error code. If the creation is attempted again then it will
   work because the unique_subject = yes will have then been added into the file.
- This patch ensures that the first attempt to create a root/host certificate set in CU175
   will work.
- Confirmed on vm testbed with freshly updated CU175.

Hi Peter,

I tested out the latest nightly build and everything worked fine except for one small hiccup. The fix for creating the IPSec root/host certificate set still gave the same error when first attempted but then created it if the attempt was directly made again.

Turns out the addition of unique_subject = yes to /var/ipfire/certs/index.txt.attr is only done in the vpnmain.cgi after the root/host creation was attempted the first time.

The patch below ensures that the index.txt.attr file has the unique_subject = yes entry the first time the root/host certificate set creation is attempted.

Apart from the above, all the other things I was able to test in IPSec and OpenVPN worked with that latest nightly.

Regards,

Adolf.
