signing.bbclass: add certificate ca-chain handling

Add handling of ca-chains which can consist of more than one
certificate in a .pem file, which need to be split off, processed and
stored separately in the softhsm - as the tool-chain
signing.bbclass::signing_import_cert* -> softhsm -> 'extract-cert'
only supports one-per-file, due to using/expecting "plain" x509
in-/output.

The added signing_import_cert_chain_from_pem function takes a <role>
basename, and iterates through the input .pem file, creating numbered
<role>_1, _2, ... roles as needed.

Afterwards the certificates can be used or extracted one-by-one from
the softhsm, using the numbered roles; the only precondition - or
limitation - is that the PKI structure has to be known beforhand;
e.g. how many certificates are between leaf and root.
